As soon as you walk into the Erdaoqiao market in Urumqi, the song "Song of Erdaoqiao", which has become a national hit, rings in your ears.
The market is a modern, open and airy mall, but unlike other malls, it is filled with goods that are unique to Xinjiang and even Central Asia.
Today's Erdaoqiao is not the same as it was two years ago. The old Erdaoqiao is still fresh in the minds of those who have visited it: low-slung bungalows, open-air stores, potholed pavements, bustling, quaint but too cluttered. The Erdaoqiao market has existed in this form for hundreds of years, since the Xuantong period in the late Qing Dynasty.
August 18, 2002, a six-story building with a strong Islamic architectural style was built on the original site, and the century-old Erdaoqiao continues to stage a new legend of ethnic minority business culture in a new form.
An old man playing Rewafu intoxicatedly stopped many visitors in their tracks. The old man called Kurban?6?1 Meatz, I do not know whether to call him a businessman or artist, his store is quite complete ethnic instruments, Rewafu, Dutar, Shatar and so on hanging all over the four walls. These instruments vary in size, small only a dozen centimeters, is considered a handicraft. The big one is more than one meter.
The old man said, these instruments are from the village of Kashgar Shushu musical instruments, specializing in people responsible for goods.
Kurban?6?1 Meatz proceeded to play and his daughter danced to the music. Business in his store is noticeably better than elsewhere.
The light shines brightly on the Ingisha pocket knives, whose biggest selling point is the handles and sheaths, with their opulent colors and beautiful hand-carved patterns.
The light also shines on Xinjiang's unique suet jade, which emits another soft luster.
Walking in the Erdaoqiao market, it is really dizzying, just out of the jade store, and silver store, copper store. The UAE's silver drinkware is shiny and beautiful, and the hand-carved patterns and designs on the bodies of Pakistani copper pots are amazing.
First time into the Erdaoqiao market outsiders and foreigners, eyes are wide open, some say they thought they walked into the treasure chest of Alibaba.
Just a shawl has a great deal to offer, the Russian shawl colorful, Turkey, Pakistani shawl rhyme, strong sense of movement, Uyghur shawl is individuality.
