The Chinese marriage market

In many Chinese cities, a unique and centuries-old tradition thrives — the Chinese marriage market.

This market is not a physical bazaar but a gathering place in public parks where parents, grandparents, and sometimes even friends converge to find suitable partners for their unmarried offspring.

A report by Al Jazeera about the site of Shanghai’s former racecourse stated that thousands of single folks search for partners there every Sunday.

Here, information about eligible individuals is displayed on handwritten posters or umbrellas, detailing crucial aspects such as age, education and occupation, with a photo often included as well.

It's a cultural phenomenon deeply rooted in Chinese family values, where the collective welfare of the family is highly prioritised.
