Join us as we visit San Yue Jie, a street just outside Dali’s old town that transforms into a market every week. The street itself is named after the 3rd month of the lunar calendar, which holds the biggest festival of the year for the local Bai minority people – and the weekly market is the best place to experience their local life and culture.
Take a look as we see the sights, buy a basket backpack, visit a Chinese herb vendor, chew some fresh sugar cane, watch walnut oil being made, and eat some rice noodles – Yunnan’s most popular dish!
