In the early hours of Dali in southwest China, visiting the market is more than shopping—it's stepping into the rhythm of local life. Here, Bai grandmas trade fresh mushrooms, seasonal fruits, corn, and produce from the surrounding hills. Colors, sounds, and human warmth weave together, forming the most authentic texture of this slow, sunlit town.
