Bustling Suburban Market in Yunnan, China: Snack Paradise, Premium Dried Beef & Timeless Tastes

Video Description

In this video, I explore Longjie Street Market, located in the southern suburbs of Kunming, Yunnan, China. As one of the four largest traditional open-air markets in Yunnan, it stretches over 3 kilometers from the roadside to village alleys. On regular days, it appears as an ordinary, quiet road. But on market days—any date ending in 3 or 8—it transforms into a bustling hub. Longjie Market offers a variety of snacks, delicious foods, daily necessities, and essential services. Everything is freshly made, with highlights like roasted perilla seed cookies, dried beef, fresh honey, handmade egg rolls, and chestnuts. Simple yet rich in tradition, these foods capture the authentic flavors of China. The market is alive with friendly, hardworking vendors and cheerful visitors enjoying the lively atmosphere. Together, they create a vibrant scene, showcasing the beauty of traditional suburban life in Yunnan, China. 00:00 Video Overview 01:47 Arriving at the Market 02:11 Roasted Sunflower Seeds 03:27 Freshly Made Perilla Seed Cookies 09:31 Honey Core Apples 13:37 Fresh Honey 15:49 Kunming Flatbread (Guandu Baba) 19:40 Seasoned Potato Balls 21:59 Various Air-Dried Beef 24:21 Fresh Handmade Egg Rolls 26:03 Pop-Cracked Chestnuts 31:41 Handmade Jewelry 34:55 Stuffed Grilled Tofu 36:23 Stuffed Grilled Potatoes
