Shixi Lu Textile Market

Opposite the Long-Distance Bus Station on Yanan Xilu is a wide lane disappearing at an angle away from the roundabout (it's not one of the main roads from the roundabout). This is one of Guiyang's main extile markets. At the weekend (possibly also during the week?) this is filled with vendors selling textiles, some of which are hand-made and home-made abrics from Guizhou's many ethnic minorities. The shops on either side are the usual collection of clothing and shoeshops with huge loudspeakers blaring out music and the latest offers on socks and pants. It is all a lot of fun and a "real China" spectacle.

At the bottom (southern) end, the lane narrows and is extremely crowded - take care with wallets and cameras in this area. I was warned this by several people there. Also, in the rush, be careful where you place your feet as there are many steel stubs sticking out, half-broken steps and lumps of concrete reay to fell you.
