It is a window to understand the local customs of Southern Xinjiang.In the morning, the market was full of Uyghur sellers and buyers, as well as thousands of animals, such as cattle, sheep, donkeys, horses, camels, goats and yaks. During the trading period, it was very lively, which opened the eyes of the visitors. We have a very rich market Culture in Xinjiang where fair trade is important. So we go to bazaar to sell and buy what we need. In market there is a middle man called the 'salachi' in Uighur. They are very knowledgeable about local business and help the buyer and seller reach an agreement following the correct rules, Usually they are respected and elder members of the community.Sitting in a simple snack stall, chatting and drinking tea with the shopkeeper, the old man or the traveling people are also a kind of enjoyment. Tourists can not only see the most ethnic culture and architecture, but also feel the most grounded trading market.
