The Eighth Market
Bashi, the Eighth Seafood Market, is the largest and most popular fresh seafood market in the coastal city of Xiamen. Every day, the market features hundreds of vendors and stalls selling seafood, most of which is just caught from the sea. As Bashi is the closest market to the harbor, many fishermen send their harvest to sell in the market right away. For seafood lovers, there are crabs, fish, abalones, prawns, shrimp, lobsters and more, fresh and available at reasonable prices.
