Nice Variety, Friendly Sellers

> Best time to find these are in the afternoon to evening (when most people are off work, etc). Or during the middle of the day on weekends I guess, etc.

> They move around a lot, they might be on the top of the Bridge for one hour, then move to the other side of the bridge down the bottom for the other hour, or to a totally different street. There are quite a few sellers, so this is okay.

They collect on the edges of the Bridge in the more shaded areas, or down the bottom of the staircases. The larger produce sellers will stay down the bottom of the stairs as their stock is heavy. Smaller produce sellers will travel up the stairs to catch people traveling in all directions.

These type of sellers are all over the City, if you wander around you are likely to find them everywhere :). The address listed here is an example of where quite a few accrue.

> Some sell singular products, like only selling blueberries (approx 20 yuan for about 1kg or something of blueberries), or just plums (see Pictures). Or they will sell a variety of vegetables, tofu and fruits, etc.

> The process: You point to a fruit, put up fingers counting how many. You must count, 1, 2, 3, etc. Because in china hand symbols for numbers are different [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_number_gestures]. It can be very clear to count putting up one finger at a time.

They will then put the item in a bag and weight it, then inform you of the price. During this process they will ask if you want to buy anything else, and random point to things. You can say yes or no, sometimes they put in an item or two to "round the price" to a weight. They are very cheap, so it's fine.

Very nice people and they remember you over time if you buy from them. As the same sellers tend to return to the same general area.
