The Hongbianmen farmer's market in Yunyan district, Guiyang city, reopened on Sept 2 after a 40-day renovation.

The indoor market is the largest of its kind in Yunyan in terms of employees and the trading volume of agricultural and sideline products. It covers nearly 8 mu (5,333.33 square meters) and is also the district's largest farmer's market.

Across its indoor area of 5,207.09 square meters, there are 307 stalls owned by more than a thousand people.

The market now sports a new look featuring simple decorations and a cleaner and brighter environment. It has also been divided into different sections for vegetables, fresh meat, grain products, beef and mutton, aquatic products and grains and oils, among other food categories.

Altogether, more than 200 kinds of agricultural and sideline products are sold in the market, covering 16 categories.

What's especially noticeable is that each stall has a large electronic screen hung over it, displaying information about the operators, where their agricultural products come from and the price and inspection results. By looking at this information, buyers can rest assured that the food they're purchasing is safe and reliable.

The renovation work has not only created a better shopping environment for the 100,000-plus people that live around the market but also provided a stable business place for the operators.

In recent years, the Hongbianmen farmer's market has won many honorary titles for its civilized atmosphere. It has also been honored as a "AAA" farmer's market in Guiyang and recognized for meeting the national "green market" standards.
