What are the specialties worth taking back when traveling to Xinjiang?

Generally, foreign tourists who come to Xinjiang will go to the "International Grand Bazaar" located in the "Erdaoqiao", where there is a very strong ethnic characteristics of Xinjiang and everything. If you want to take something special back, dried fruits can take some raisins, almonds, some preserved fruits, mumes and figs, and weigh everything in a small bag. You can buy some silk scarves as scarves, but the styles and colors are not very fashionable. You can buy that big shawl. Uygur women in Xinjiang like to wear it on their shoulders. It's warm and delicious. Hetian jade in Xinjiang is a good specialty, but it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. It's best to have knowledgeable people to follow, which may be the most authentic in big shopping malls.

But I want to remind you that things in the International Grand Bazaar may be more expensive than those in other places, because it is also a tourist attraction. If you don't have much money, I recommend you to go to the "South Gate", where there are many dried fruits sold in the open air. There is a "Khan Tengger singer" shopping mall near the South Gate, where I found many things with ethnic characteristics for mainland students. In addition, there are many people selling dried fruits on Hongqi Road. The "International Bazaar", "South Gate" and "Hongqi Road" I mentioned are all close, so it is very convenient to go shopping.

In addition, there are many unique things in Xinjiang: small flower hats, small vests, some hand-made bronzes, Aitres silk, and Ingisha knives (don't buy them by plane, or you can't take them with you). Those who like music can watch tambourines and bring some "Kathy's South" to their friends when they leave. It's delicious.
