Explore Shaxi’s Friday Farmer’s Market with a Local Guide

€5.00

Step into Shaxi’s vibrant Friday Market — one of the most authentic and lively weekly markets in all of Yunnan. Every Friday, villagers from the surrounding mountains walk or ride into town carrying fresh produce, handmade goods, and traditional specialties. This is not a tourist attraction — it is real local life unfolding right in front of you.

With a knowledgeable Shaxi local as your guide, you’ll wander through bustling stalls filled with seasonal fruits and vegetables grown by nearby farmers, Yunnan spices, traditional herbs, handmade tools, and snacks you won’t find anywhere else. Your guide will introduce you to regional ingredients, explain the cultural stories behind certain foods, and help you taste the best local specialties.

This immersive experience is an incredible window into Bai culture, rural life, and the rhythms of the Shaxi valley — and one of the most photogenic and memorable things you can do here.

Please note:

  • The listed price is a non-refundable reservation fee. The remaining 180 RMB can be paid directly to your guide during the experience.

  • This market takes place only on Fridays, so bookings for this experience are available exclusively on Fridays.

Our experience usually starts at 10:00 AM local time, but if it’s just your group, we can be flexible and start at a time that works best for you!
