Hatred of the Han Chinese ethnic minorities in southern Xinjiang to legend, it was was worried before the trip to Khan made the decision. But in fact there is no such thing, the Uighurs are very warm, hospitable. We have made a home visit Kashi (so-called home visits is to go native home, a guest), the hostess and her daughter for the hospitality of us, we just casually sit, they have come up with grape, dessert, walnut and tea so that we enjoy daughter loves her Limu also specifically raised the pigeons win the House so that we take pictures, the owner is very hospitable to stay we ate lunch, really sorry declined, while all of these owners do not have a penny, but left us with hope Address be able to send her pictures.
Many of the old town in southern Xinjiang are extending in all directions, these alley, there are hidden groups of children and their laughter. We are wandering in the ancient city, when the old alley, often inadvertently turn the corner in 3355 after seeing children playing in Uygur. Uyghur children are very cute, the same color are the big eyes, long eyelashes, Hushanhushan's reveals a nimbus. To see us off foreign land, they told us would be generous "HELLO" or "Hello", but also bustling with us onto the long section of the road. They also favorite photographs, particularly digital, and finishing to let them see what they will happy laugh. But have to vigilant and soon the children will be pouring from all directions come to you surrounded pestered let you take pictures, but also blunt grab the camera view. Therefore, we give them pictures when they go beyond that, lest their own besiegement. Until now, I am very puzzled and interesting, these seemingly hidden in the empty alley, how can so many children? However, in the alley way to spend my childhood is a happy things.
In addition to southern Xinjiang Uighur ethnic minority, as well as Hui, Tajiks, etc., most of them Muslims, so over the large and small mosques in southern Xinjiang, large, such as the Id Kah Mosque in Kashgar, which could accommodate tens of thousands of people at worship, small then, as in the Old City guxiang scattered in a small temple is a small building. Muslims are devout Christians and abide by the law to teach. I remember the way to the tower, a time when 16 o'clock, see a passing train parked on the roadside, all the car Muslims towards the West and get off the direction of Mecca to worship quietly, people moved. Muslims are also very mutual, and in southern Xinjiang bazaar There are many kinds of beggars, although the drive itself is not well-off people in the bazaar or even poor, but they can be benevolent, these scenes in cities in the Mainland can not imagine.
Uygur women, including a little girl, almost everyone wearing a long skirt, the first packet in a pocket, very unique. Most of the young woman, a good body, slender and well-proportioned, but a middle-aged all-aliasing, and all of them have turned into a bucket waist. Uygur driver said the woman's status is low, life has been a bitter, although the country is also monogamous, but the man married a woman more than a symbol of success, so the high divorce rate, Uygur, the men discuss the before and after the a lot of his wife and gave birth to many children, but after a divorce, or a woman to raise children, men no responsibilities, so it is very hard Uygur woman. Can not be verified if the driver is correct, but in the Arab countries, the existence of polygamy, the number of Muslims in the region also reflects the low status of women.

South Xinjiang has many features arts and crafts, such as the colored musical instruments, Yingjisha knife, and Tian, carpets, Ed Rice, handwoven cloth and so on and so forth. Musical instruments in Kashi Eastern bazaar where you can buy cheaper price compared to other places, I spent 130 yuan to buy a medium and mini-Dong Bula, friends, Xiao Cai is to help people with a large, asking price 300, the last with another small with the 300. Driver said it could be a big bomb, the other can only play with just a look, but for those of us not musical enough to take a look at the. Of course, to buy a knife to Yingjisha, knife factory production process can go take a look at buying have to go to the roadside shop, the price much cheaper. Be very careful when you pick a knife, blade is very sharp, I was classified opened a deep hole in, which makes blood dripping, his wife see the scalp scared straight. We know nothing about jade, but also did not have much interest, so even if the driver was strongly recommended to take us to the next Hotan jade river fishing, we still remain indifferent, but interested to try it, maybe you can Amoy to the treasure. If it is to buy, then there must be a knowledgeable peer, it will easily fooled. Carpets and handwoven cloth Actually, I'm surprised to see on it. There are many in Pakistan, Xinjiang handmade copper vases and other ornaments, it is worth buying. However, I personally prefer the tin, though not necessarily by hand, but very special, a tin of Aladdin's lamp had a look at exotic, generally forty to fifty pieces will be able to buy.
In general, such as in Urumqi city, can have everything, that is, the price is slightly more expensive, of course, a lot of water asking price, if the high level of haggling can also buy inexpensive things. So do not suggest she began to buy it, hurry to get somewhere with a lot of things are very hard indeed, especially the large Dong Bula, accounting for a lot of space, along the way also worry about whether they would get off a long-handled, all to Urumqi to buy can be, and erdaoqiao, the International Grand Bazaar can be, the key is to have ample time to shop around. Southern border line, shopping, spent more than a total of 500 odd dollars, in addition to fruits and nuts to buy Dong Bula outside the two ram's horn handle knife 3, a tin lamp, flat pots, jewelry boxes each one, a craft knife, a bracelet, harvest lot. Need to be reminded that the straight handle of the knife can not be brought out Yingjisha Xinjiang, the consignment will not be allowed to fly regardless of whether to carry, folding can, it is proposed that bought a package by mail on the back, or try their luck at the airport only to see if you can pretend that they clearance.
