[Beijing] Street Markets

After finishing breakfast, we walked further down. It turns out to be one long market street. There are all manner of fresh produce, fresh seafood, meats, vegetables, and more food stands. This single street contains more variety than your local Super Wal-mart, and then some more.

I think it's simply excellent because all things of produce varieties there are brought in fresh every morning, probably no more than hours since picking time. Every thing has such color and freshness to it that you can't find in the fast-food, flash-frozen supermarkets in the States that have been slowly dying in large produce trucks for days before they get to your local Wal-mart.

Speaking of which, you can look forward to a post covering a Wal-mart in Beijing later.
