Exploring Youngpin Market

On Tour With Dridgers begins at Youngpin Market, also known as the Eighth Market in Xiamen. The market is full of fresh seafood, meat, and local snacks. The travelers walk among the stalls and see many kinds of meat, including live frogs. Vegetarians may want to skip this part of the market because much of the exploration focuses on meat and seafood.

A notable tasting is sand worm jelly, a local Xiamen specialty. The jelly itself is manageable, but the wasabi is unexpectedly strong and shoots up the traveler's nose. The distinctive texture and spicy sensation make the tasting memorable. The travelers note that the dish is surprisingly affordable, even though visitors may expect a tourist attraction to be more expensive.

Riding Xiamen's BRT

The episode shifts from food to public transport, showing Xiamen's Bus Rapid Transit system. The BRT runs on elevated dedicated lanes, giving the travelers a view of the city's transport infrastructure. They initially make a navigation mistake but find the system efficient and convenient. The ride costs two yuan for the group, or one yuan per person.

The journey also captures ordinary details around the city. Charging pods are available throughout Xiamen for electronic devices. Smaller side streets provide a less crowded look at local life than the main market areas. Near the ferry port, massage chairs offer travelers a quick way to relax after a long day.
