Xindong Street

Step into Xindong Street where time seems to stand still - this Uyghur-style alley is乌鲁木齐's best-kept secret. The handicraft bazaar dazzles with vibrant Atlas silk and intricate copperware, while sizzling samsa (baked buns) and kebabs from street stalls will tantalize your taste buds. As dusk falls, elderly locals gather to play rawap lutes, filling the ancient lane with melodies that dance through the desert air.
