Beneath the Minarets: A Day at Xinjiang’s Grand Bazaar

#discoverchina This is my first time visiting the Grand Bazaar. Its full name is the Xinjiang International Grand Bazaar, located in Urumqi, Xinjiang, China. It is a large ethnic-style market that combines tourism, shopping, food, and cultural displays. Often referred to as "the window of Xinjiang" and "a reflection of Central Asian charm," it is especially popular among visitors. Whether you're a tourist or a local, the Grand Bazaar is a must-visit destination to experience Xinjiang’s rich cultural diversity and vibrant atmosphere. Here, you can fully enjoy the joy of shopping while immersing yourself in the region's unique traditions—truly the best of both worlds.
