Market before Spring Festival

Market before Spring Festival

We were smart to come early. This is the early crowd. It is like shopping before Thanksgiving in the States. One difference is that Spring Festival holiday in about two weeks, not four days. People lay in as much as they can, both because they will have relatives and friends over, but also so they don't have to shop for at least a few days. I don't know the name of the yellow fruit, but it is very mild and juicy.
