There is a Monday maket in Shaping, on the way from Dali from Lijiang. It trades not only vegetables, but also livestocks. This belonges to Bai minority and in my mind can be compared to the Sunday Market in Kashgar. My tour company arranged me transfered from Dali all the way to Lijiang and there are a lot to see.
