Back in the city, an old street market known for traditional handicrafts was a lonely scene. No craftsmen were to be seen, and storefronts were mostly filled with crude-looking, mass-produced goods. We followed a pretty map of traditional snack vendors but we could only find the usual grungy stalls, none specially decorated for the occasion. In some tucked-away corner, we managed to stumble upon some fine poetry recitals.
再回到市內，以傳統工藝著稱的古街市況蕭索，不見藝師蹤影，店面裡擺陳的多半是匠氣很重的大量複製品；按著精美的民俗小吃地圖找去，卻是未經刻意妝點、污水淋漓的尋常地攤。
