Its a woderful place with the Han chinese and Uigur muslims coming together to sell all sorts of things,Knife,whip,souveniors,ice cream,and many more.There is also a carrefour there where by yiu can get all your American drinks and food.Also in the 2nd floor there is lots of local food ,like rahman, sasliqe and many more cheap and good.But police and army almost everywhere,very good security and you can walk along the street and you can find lots of muslim shop selling almost everything.Its a must visit place.Dont buy the sword or knife,because you cannot bring it back if yoir country or the airlines have restriction.
Its amazing to see a vibrant muslim culture in a communist china :) grand bazaar has much to offer, you can buy almost anything here, overpriced, but cool stuff. Knives mean alot in Uyghur culture, to be a man one must have a knife so goes the old culture, so you will find many of them here. If you buy one makes sure you buy it just before flying out of urumqi and put in in your checked in bag. Paramilitary and police are literally everywhere and nooooooo way would they let you carry a knife into their BRT or railway stations...etc, to get one a BRT bus I had to give up my American high quality expensive toothpaste. I refused to, and was denied access to the bus :) but got on another bus outside the security crap.
虽然南大寺的游客很多,但是还是能显示出来这座寺庙特有的宁静,可以让人暂时忘掉烦恼。建筑很有风格,和南方的大有不同。在寺庙周围,还有很多小贩叫卖东西,有诱人的糕点,蜜饯、葡萄干,都是新疆的特产哦。我买了一个小小的纪念品,很喜欢。
Der ganze Platz vor der Moschee ist entweder neu gebaut, oder hervorragend restauriert worden ... die Ziegelbauten sind sehr schön und tadellos! Irgendwie ist dadurch aber auch "das echte Leben" verschwunden: überall sind Touristengeschäfte und dieder Platz ist ganz anders wie das übrige Muslim-Viertel; ich empfehle daher unbedingt einen Spaziergang durch die Umgebung - inkl. Essen und Shopping dort.
