Qingping Market
Edit ThisQingping Market is probably the main touristic attraction. It is one of the largest markets in China. Of course, you can buy there lots of (for us) exotic veggies, but the various kinds of animals are the real attration... If you're thinking about becoming a vegetarian, you should go there!
