Has anyone been to this "new" flea market yet?
www.gokunming.com/en/calendar/event/15138/flea_market
Is it an excuse for established traders to sell their same old tat, or do locals come to sell unwanted stuff? Anyone tried to set up a stall there? How big is it? (I plan to visit it sometime, but wondered what to expect before dragging my excess goodies there!)
I think it is just people who make stuff, or trade from home. Go have a look and ask around. I would expect that some Chengguan guy will be collecting 'rent'.
Let us know what you find out, please.
With selective enforcement no doubt!
Visited today. There's 30-40 people selling stuff, but nearly all of it is "ancient" coins, comics, badges, ceramics, Mao memorabilia etc.
Nice for tourists, but not the free-for-all I had hoped for. The vendors have official-looking lanyards and numbered pitch sites. So not something that's open to anyone to take part in. Pity.
