Hezhou 1st Alley

Stroll through Hezhou First Alley and step into a time capsule—this ancient lane hidden in Urumqi whispers Xinjiang's history through its weathered brick walls. Discover Uyghur artisan workshops brimming with traditional crafts, while the aroma of sizzling kebabs leads you to must-try samsa (baked buns) with explosively juicy fillings. As night falls, golden lanterns illuminate the bazaar's vibrant energy, making it the ultimate spot to immerse in Old Urumqi's soul. Pro tip: Follow the sound of dutar music to find hidden teahouses!
