Kashi Grand Bazaar
The Kashi Grand Bazaar is the busiest part of the city. The market is a kind of agricultural market, that has expanded to include anything you can think of.

This is a narrow, quiet lane. The road is lined with houses of one or two storied built of adobe or red brick. It is Saturday. A group of Uygur children are playing, bringing a joyful atmosphere to the quiet bane. At the end of the lane, a sign reading "Vegetable Bazaar Lane" reminds people of its past. The bazaar no longer exists, and people can only imagine the brisk scene here in the old days...
