Introduction:

The project is located in Xiafu Village, Diankou. The original market was first built by the local government in 2003, covering an area of 700 m². The market was the starting point for the villagers’ daily life and the place for trade and communication. Every day from 5 a.m. to 8 a.m., the villagers gathered here to trade crops and livestock, and exchanged goods. The market was also the largest and the most important public building in the village.
