"Merchants from across the prefecture bring embroidered panels and fabrics to sell, and people come to browse through them."

Since it opened, Xiulitao has become a tourist draw, alongside the area's famous sour soup. Posts on social media platforms have amplified interest. Content about the market has attracted more than 10 million views on Douyin and lifestyle sharing app Xiaohongshu, with visitors sharing photos of their finds and shopping tips.
