Harbin's morning markets, or “zaoshi” in Chinese, similar to the outdoor markets in some Western countries, have been a hot spot for tourists. Located in the downtown Harbin, Northeast China's Heilongjiang Province, the Hongzhuan Morning Market, which opens at 5:30 am to 9 am has been one of the most popular local morning markets to attract tourists recently. On Monday, Global Times reporters went on an amazing journey into a typical Northeast Chinese style market in Harbin, Northeast China's Heilongjiang Province. At the spot, food stalls are serving local breakfast dishes such as sticky steamed buns stuffed with bean paste, corn porridge, fresh local delicacies including mushrooms, special frozen fruits, and shoppers are selling from items such as household goods to some special purchases for the Spring Festival in the less than 200-meter length of Hongzhuan street in downtown Harbin, where people can discover the hustle and bustle of city life and feel the hospitality of the locals.
