Street Merchants of Kashgar, in Xinjiang (Photo Essays)

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.



Sacks of pepper in the Old City

The melon seller

During my sojourn in Kashgar, which lasted only five days, every day I stopped at the night market on Jie Fang Bei Road to buy a slice of hami gua melon (a melon from the xinjianese province of Hami) from the man in the photo below that, despite looking calm in the picture, never stopped shouting for even a second.

Almonds

During my years in China, I can honestly claim that it has been the almonds that have kept me alive, especially when I was forced to eat in the cafeteria adjacent to my office (terrible) or when, during the outbreak of the bird flu in the summer of 2013, eggs and chicken were prohibited, the other two pillars of my Chinese diet.

The sad bakery

Even you are immortalized in the Old City of Kashgar. If you’re interested in learning more about the food in Xinjiang, click here. You won’t regret it, especially if you’re a carnivore!

The melon seller – Part two

Look, from this melon seller I admit to having never bought anything.

Sheep entrails

As you’ve probably already figured out, this isn’t a site that incites to veganism (right?). Not enough? Here are some photos from the  Kashgar livestock market!

The silk merchant

Only in Kashgar, right next to sheep entrails, can you find a silk merchant, who tests its quality by burning it.

The grape dealer

Since you can’t see it in the picture, you’ll have to take me on my word: this elderly man was our grape dealer.

Multicolor fabrics

This man comes from Kazakhstan, with prices like no other!

Furio is an Italian freelancer, long-term expat and speaker of many languages. He enjoys talking about his travels around China and unconventional ways to learn Chinese on his blog.
