The Eighth Seafood Market

The Eighth Seafood Market

• Xiamen’s most local seafood market, the top choice for buying seafood products. Experience the hospitality of the people in southern Fujian at this historic market.

Baxi can be considered one of Xiamen’s hottest markets today — every visitor to Xiamen makes a special trip here to explore and eat. What people usually refer to as Baxi actually includes two markets: one is Kaihe Market, and the other is Yingping Market, a cross-shaped market locally known as the inner Baxi.

In its early days, the Eighth Market was a place where many fishermen gathered after entering the harbor to trade seafood. Starting from the 1920s and 1930s, it became Xiamen’s freshest and most affordable seafood distribution hub. Packed densely from south to north with all kinds of fresh seafood, if you can name it, you can probably find it here.
