MARCHÉS

For those who enjoy browsing stalls and meeting minorities, the markets in the small villages around Kaili are most picturesque! Every week, different localities host markets where Miao, Dong and other groups gather to sell and buy local produce, exchange news and celebrate their traditions. These markets are an explosion of color, with Miao women's embroidered costumes, glittering silver jewelry and stalls brimming with fresh produce, medicinal herbs and handicrafts.
