Sunday Photo Thread: Memorial Day Weekend Edition

JingAn Xiaoting was regularly packed with weekend shoppers purchasing everything you can think of and, unlike the old Xiangyan Market, the majority of shoppers were locals. The market will close down at the end of this week, to be replaced with a new transportation hub.
