“Dongmen Market is an excellent traditional wet market. I live in the actual market street and am consistently impressed with the variety and quality of the fresh produce available. It is a bustling affair, although not so crowded as to make you feel uncomfortable. You can buy your veggies straight from the farmers in some cases, these guys are generally set up on makeshift stalls. There are rotating stalls that come around very couple weeks selling various delicious mushrooms, if you catch one of these they are normally giving out samples of dishes they have cooked using them. Quite a few vendors sell stuff they have precooked and they usually offer samples too. So you can try before you buy. ”

“In the weekdays, it's a huge and very very convenient wet market. In the weekends, it explodes in it's full potential, with the addition of hundreds of second hand flea vendors, selling from precious antiques, rare tea varieties, to almost garbage stuff. A very folkloric site, well worth a visit for it's human and merchandise variety. There are a few food stalls if you want to have an adventurous lunch there. Open every day except Monday, running from early morning (5 am maybe) to 12-12.30. ”
