Exhibiting the locally famous “Loulan Beauty”, Xinjiang Museum, the massive provincial museum, is the symbol of Uighur independence and other amazing silk and sculpture, as well as an introduction to all of the minorities in this region. Erdaoqiao Grand Bazaar is the prefect place to experience the local life and mouthwatering food.
