Dashanbei Farmers' Market

Situated next to the century-old historic site 'Leshan Hall,' the 'Dashanbei Farmers' Market,' operated by local small farmers from Hengshan, is a burgeoning local market that has emerged in this mountain village in recent years. Every weekend and holiday, it consistently attracts nearby hikers and travelers from various places. Unlike other markets, all agricultural products at the 'Dashanbei Farmers' Market' are locally sourced and sold directly by the cultivating farmers to consumers. This reduces commissions for middlemen or distribution channels and also lowers carbon emissions caused by long-distance transportation. Farmers can thus concentrate on growing natural, pesticide-free fruits and vegetables, and customers can purchase fresh produce directly from the source. Moreover, the 'Dashanbei Farmers' Market' is a market that embodies both 'honesty' (誠實) and 'integrity in food' (誠食 – a clever pun on sincerity and food). Each stall is equipped with a 'self-service cash box,' allowing visitors to pay independently. This system fosters a wonderful interaction between food and agriculture as travelers purchase sincerely grown natural produce.
