Put summer and Coke in the refrigerator, then take it out, shake it and open it, and with a bang, autumn comes out. The coolness of early autumn has just arrived, how can we not go out for a walk while the autumn is high and crisp.
From June to now, it has been a long time since I went to the market. I still remember that there were always many interesting and lively markets in the capital every autumn in the past few years. Most of these markets are similar to those in various provinces and cities. The combination of intangible cultural heritage and handmade products is mostly handicrafts from the deep mountains, and of course it also includes many gadgets that I have never seen before.
Curious about the "secrets in the distant mountains", I walked into the deep mountain market this time.
The market is located in Kerry Center, Beijing, which is the most prosperous CBD area in the imperial capital. The surrounding environment is not only the high-rise buildings that can "go straight to the sky", but also the streets and alleys surrounded by fashion and trends. It seems to have nothing to do with "tradition". In this place, a market full of fireworks appeared, and the collision between "avant-garde" and "traditional" seemed quite interesting.
The event is divided into two parts: "Wuyejia Market" and "Shenshan Market". Among them, "Wuyejia Market" is like a small night market full of literature, art and petty bourgeois life. It has them all. The Chuxiong Yi girls who came all the way from Yunnan staged one after another ethnic performance here. Of course, the local pop singer next to him was not to be outdone, and hurriedly took out his "housekeeping skills" to sing and accept , the interweaving of national and popular, music, parties, open-air movies... The audience coming and going in the future will quickly pour into this ultimate auditory feast.
The two biggest points in the market are these traditional ethnic handicrafts from the deep mountains. Here, not only the embroiderers of ethnic minorities use their superb skills to take a needle and a roll of lines, and lightly create one after another. Fantastic picture scroll. If you are interested in handcrafts, of course, you can also experience DIY activities such as tie-dye T-shirts, velvet flowers, ribbon embroidery, weaving, and retro cultural creations in the market. Bring your own thoughts and creativity and get closer The distance from the tradition of intangible cultural heritage makes intangible cultural heritage no longer just a boring skill.
Of course, in addition to singing and dancing, handicrafts, and the necessary food in the night market, here are also everything, such as Italian pizza baked by the chef on site, Internet celebrity drinks, ethnic snacks and various cocktails, etc. With the first cool breeze in early autumn, eating a freshly baked hot pizza can also satisfy your taste buds.

With the development of the "Shenshan Market", it has become a tradition to hold a market in the capital every year. After participating in it for several years, I gradually fell in love with this event. Every handicraft that came here from a "far away", I think, deserves to be seen by more people. These handicrafts not only bear the label of "national intangible cultural heritage", but most of them also carry time. It also carries the taste of life in the deep mountains.
Every time I come here, I always think that I must buy something I like. It was embroidery before, and this year it is tie-dye T-shirts. I don’t know what it will be next year?
I started my first autumn trip in 2021 with a "deep mountain market". I hope that this autumn, if no one will accompany you to see the gentle evening breeze, we can also take a look at the morning glow in the evening breeze by ourselves , and then bite a freshly baked sweet potato to feel the first warmth of autumn.
