When it comes to Xinjiang, it is impossible to ignore the bazaars here - that is, markets. Bazaars not only bring together various handicrafts, but also gather a variety of delicacies. Today, let's take a look at the bazaars in southern Xinjiang together.

Kashgar Grand Bazaar

Full name is Central and West Asia International Trade Market, also known as Dongmen Grand Bazaar. The market is divided into different sections based on the types of goods, where you can find Adilaisi silk, flower hats, Yengisar knives, dried fruits, handicrafts, and more in the souvenir area.
