The umbrella was moving among the shoppers in Bailan Market

Umbrella among shoppers in Bailan Market — Umbrella among shoppers

I was walking with the locals through the Bailan Market, which is lined with stores. According to Google Maps, this place is in the category of "traditional market." It certainly deserves to be called that because it is a collection of small stores and the products are sold face-to-face. But on the other hand, I wonder what kind of non-traditional market they are referring to. Does it simply apply to something like a supermarket?

Even though it was mid-morning, the sun was already strong. All the stores had their eaves tents stretched out toward the street. A large shadow was cast on the street, so the sun was shining only on the center part of the road. As I gazed at the road, which was a mixture of sun and shade, a woman with a red umbrella appeared. Although the woman was walking through the market, she did not seem to be interested in what was being sold. She did not even take a glance at the products in front of her store, but walked swiftly in the sun that had formed in the middle of the road.
