In this video, I explore a vibrant traditional open-air market in urban Tianjin, China, open every Sunday. This bustling market offers a warm escape during the cold winter, with chefs preparing freshly cooked dishes and steaming vapors rising from every stall, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere.
The market is packed with variety: puffed snacks like popcorn, rice bars, and shrimp chips; fried pastries and meatballs; roasted nuts like sunflower seeds and chestnuts; colorful candies; fresh fruits and vegetables; seafood; and a wide selection of meats, including pork, beef, and lamb. Every item is freshly made, with open kitchens allowing shoppers to observe the cooking process, ensuring food safety, freshness, and quality.
Join me as I explore this lively market, where vendors’ energetic calls and cheerful customers create a unique and vibrant charm!
