To fully explore the fair, many visitors have to spend the whole day, but there are a few destinations in the market that visitors can hardly ignore. One is the exchange and sale of agricultural products made by the people themselves. The second one is a display area, introducing the traditional products located at the end of the market. The products are skirts, blouses, hats, towels which are made by hands meticulously and exquisitely on the background of textile materials, coarse linen, beeswax …
