黄沙水产交易市场

This guide to the Huangsha Aquatic Market in Guangzhou opens with a puzzle: why does China's busiest fish market now stand nearly empty at rush hour? It traces the market's rise from a modest 1994 freight dock into a wholesale hub moving hundreds of tons of seafood a night, worth billions of yuan and stocked from twenty countries. That very success, with trucks queuing along the riverside and forklifts squeezing past pedestrians, led the city to order a relocation as early as 2007, a move vendors feared would scatter their customers. Look for the empty stalls that once held that trade.
