Friday is market day in Gongshan town and in Pihe below Laomudeng
Cikai (Gongshan town), and Pihe, Fugong county
Up the canyon, townships hold their markets on fixed days of the week rather than by the lunar calendar. Gongshan's county town has held a Friday market since April 2023, when villagers come in to sell vegetables, meat and snacks along the market street. Pihe, the township below Laomudeng and Zhiziluo, moved its market from Thursday to Friday in September 2025, so sleep in Laomudeng on Thursday and walk the Pihe market on Friday before driving north.
What locals sayRegulars say a market day shows everyday canyon life better than any viewpoint; it is a working market, though, so don't expect souvenirs.
