The market is the best place to catch a glimpse of local people's lives. The Starlight Night Market in Jinghong City, Xishuangbanna in southwest China's Yunnan Province, is a must for tourists. Due to Xishuangbanna's close proximity with Myanmar and Laos, the market exhibits an exotic flavor. Here, you can see flowers used as hair decorations or as barbecue food. There are also fantastic types of fruit that look like snakeskin or sea cucumbers. Watch this video and roam this eye-opening market yourself!
