Describe a street market you have been to.

You should say:

Where it is

When you went there

Why you went there

And explain how you felt about this experience.

A street market that I have been to that I really loved was an indoor street market in Chengdu. Though it was indoors, the reason I call it a street market is because it was built to look like an old Sichuan town street. It was amazing actually, and featured all sorts of stalls selling local produce, souvenirs, snacks and there were also eateries too. The whole indoor ‘market area’ was divided into different sections, you see: a vegetable market, a meat market, a fish market, then a crafts market, a *all antique market section, then a street lined with restaurants that specialized in local snacks and famous Sichuan dishes. There was also an area where there were *all performances – people dressed in local costumes and playing instruments and performing skits. It was fantastic really, and it isn’t just a tourist site, it’s a great market that the locals also use, at least the locals that live in that central area of that part of the city. I enjoy the fact that in my city the local governments have spent time and money to design and create these kinds of cultural spaces, which also have a very practical function. Usually street markets are a lot more rough and dirty and not very organized, so this one in Chengdu was especially nice, and I felt I had experienced the real flavor of what old time * might have been like.
