Operation mode of traditional market

Every seller in the traditional market, called stall owner, stall owner or boss, is relatively independent in the way of operation. They can only operate in the traditional market if they rent a booth and pay the rent. Each traditional market is generally managed by an industrial and commercial administration, which collects taxes and fees from stall owners.

At present, most traditional markets mainly exist in small and medium-sized cities in Chinese mainland, but there are also big cities like Beijing and Shanghai, only because of the entry of large multinational supermarkets. Most traditional markets in Chinese mainland belong to farmers' markets. In the cities of Chinese mainland, due to the economic development, people now go to supermarkets to buy food more and more. But people who like to bargain will still go to the traditional market. Especially old women like to go there to buy food.

The existing famous traditional markets in Hong Kong are Tai Po Market, Luen Wo Market, Yuen Long Market, Mong Kok Flower Market, Goldfish Street, Ladies Street, Sai Ying Panzheng Street, Chunyang Street in North Point and Shau Kei Wan East Street. In the early years, most traditional markets in Hong Kong were located beside streets, so they were called "markets". As many markets have moved into the indoor areas of municipal buildings managed by the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department, there are few markets now, and the current markets no longer refer to markets, but refer to one place, such as Tai Po Market and Luen Wo Market. At present, the markets in the two places are called Tai Po Market and Lianhe Market respectively.

There is also a traditional market in London, England.

Although there are high-density supermarkets and convenience stores in Taiwan Province Province, the traditional market is still prosperous, even in big cities. Many people still prefer to buy food in the traditional market because of its bargaining power and strong human touch.

Many markets in Taiwan Province Province have a long history and were formed almost at the same time as settlements. However, in the early years, many markets were not hygienic, and the government has begun to guide reconstruction and conduct regular spot checks.
