Hotan Night Market
2298***97I am so happy. When I came to Hotan City, Xinjiang, I went straight to the night market specialties, watermelon barbecue, yogurt dumplings, roasted eggs, belly-wrapped meat, noodles and lungs, rice intestines, lamb soup 😅 I lost weight after eating.
Hetian Tuan Cheng Scenic
白白驹幕府过隙In Hotan City, the buildings are in the traditional style of local ethnic minorities, but most of them are newly built or renovated.
I went there in the morning, ignoring the time difference. Around 10:30, there were almost no businesses open. I entered from one side and came out from the other, mainly to look at the buildings.
It is expected to be more lively at night. In such a large block, there is only one chef preparing ingredients for rice in the open air.
Hotan Museum
白白驹幕府过隙The Hotan Museum is located in the center of Hotan, opposite the Land Commission compound. The official house should be built soon. Very distinctive, especially the special exhibition of Niya ruins on the third floor. The collection of corpses is particularly large, all excavated in the Taklamakan desert area, and the years span thousands of years. The original cultural relics unearthed at the Niya site of "Five Stars Out of Oriental Li China" are not in the Hotan Museum. The facilities in the museum are advanced. Even if there is no explanation, through graphic video and QR code scanning, you can see it patiently and slowly. Watching a group of half-year-old children, going up to the corpse is a beat. Lack of basic respect for the deceased.
Hotan Grand Bazaar
Zzixunshi99It was my first time visiting the Grand Bazaar, which is actually a large market. What attracted me most here was probably the food. I definitely recommend the local specialties, which you can never taste anywhere else.
Hotan County GuoJi BuXingJie
徐徐霞客之旅Hotan International Pedestrian Street is a lively place in Hotan City. There are many shops inside. You can see and stroll around. It is a very casual place. The street is not very long. There are some brand stores and you can buy something.
Yurungqash River
最最初的风88kvzNot far from the city. There are police patrols and you can't just go down and play. Of course, the police are there to protect your safety. The locals are right. It is quite difficult to find jade. But I think it is easy to find a few good-looking stones after digging river pebbles for six months. The source of the river is Kunlun Mountain and the end of the river is Taklimakan Desert. The river water is green and slightly turbid, and the river surface is wide. Not far from the river is the jade trading market, which is very exciting and you must go and have a look. Is the jade in the trading market real or fake? My friend told me that if you like it, it has value, and if you don't like it, it has no value!
Desert Observation Deck
天天上的蓝精灵017The Desert Watchtower is located on the east side of the Desert Scenic Highway on the east side of the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. As the watchtower is located at the highest point of the South Rim, it has become an unparalleled viewing point. The lighthouse not only overlooks the Grand Canyon and the Colorado River, but also the San Francisco Peak, the Navajo settlement and the vast colorful desert. The walls inside the building are also covered with Indian-style paintings and artworks, allowing you to experience the culture and feast your eyes.
