Zhongyi Market sits behind a modest stone entrance in the heart of Lijiang’s old town. While the surrounding streets cater to souvenir hunters, this corner belongs to the residents. Early every morning, Naxi farmers haul wicker baskets filled with wild mushrooms, bitter greens, and local yak cheese to these narrow alleys. The stone floors are perpetually damp from vegetable washings and mountain water runoffs. Elders haggle over the price of herbs while children dodge the crates of squawking chickens stacked against the walls.
