Step into Yuanding Lane where time stands still - this Uyghur-style alley hides the soul of Ürümqi. Woodcarving workshops scent the air with sandalwood, painted archways frame grannies baking golden naan bread, while embroidered textiles and ethnic instruments make perfect souvenirs. Follow the cumin aroma to lamb skewer stalls at dusk for an authentic Xinjiang night snack experience!
