    Sells a variety of local products from flowers and plants to spices and tea to jade and rocks to your normal touristy souvenirs. Walk pass some interesting "hutongs" which are under repair. The end of the market sees a "pet corner" ... they sell dogs here!

    This was a great market to spend a few hours in. I was especially impressed with the old nic-nacs, I bought a beautiful red carved soapstone opium snuff bottle for my collection. There were fish, birds, pups, turtles,bugs, plants, pots, flowers, and great old buildings in the vicinity, most of which will be soon demolished, unfortunately. I enjoyed it here, very much.

Negotiated with Rick, and got a car and driver for RMB700 - not cheap. The …
