Yangdong Market Does Not Run on One Clock

At Yangdong Market, map the food, textile, household, and industrial sections before choosing one product to study and one meal. The official representative hours are 07:00–21:00, but vegetables can begin before dawn and general-goods shops often start later. Treat the market’s May 1980 solidarity as community history, not a food-marketing slogan.

From station to destination

Yangdong Market: pin your actual shop

The map locates the market as a whole. Choose a meal, dried-goods shop or other specific target, then pin that shop or entrance instead of cutting through aisles toward the map center.

A direct market passage is not necessarily step-free. Ask station staff for a continuous route to street level and meet your group again at the market entrance.
