Baiyang Alley

Step into Poplar Alley and be transported to Urumqi's most authentic charm! Rows of whispering poplar trees line this rustic lane, where traditional Uyghur houses with baked-earth walls exude local character. Follow the aroma of freshly baked naan and sizzling lamb skewers from family-owned stalls. Come at dusk—when the setting sun paints the alley in golden hues—to capture insta-worthy shots of daily life in Xinjiang!
