Me at the market

You can find a couple of local street markets in Turpan. Even tough you are not willing to buy, take a walk around the market to discover the local life and activity. First hour in the morning is the best time, as it is the hours when the market is more active.

The shop

This women's clothes shop seemed from outside anything but a women's clothes shop. No windows, no clothes shown from outside.... but the hand painted sign indicated there could be something there, so we went in.
Not too bad, interesting inside, though we finally didn't buy any pret-a-porter made in Xinjiang!

 Several of the cities we have visited in Central Asia claim to have the ideal climate for growing the sweetest watermelons. Turpan however, specialises in grapes - small, sweet and delicious.
