Urumqi! Please grant me 10 more stomachs

The delicacies of Xinjiang are truly endless! Here, foodies don't have to worry about not finding something delicious. Kebabs, pilaf, roasted naan, buns, as well as milk tea, desserts, ice cream - each one is explosively tasty! Sadly, my stomach is only so big; it simply can't hold all these flavors. For the first stop on a self-driving tour of Xinjiang, I highly recommend setting aside a day for Urumqi, just to wander and eat! The food streets here are countless, and there's no need for specific recommendations - just walking around, you'll encounter delicious food. Accommodation: Staying near the Grand Bazaar or the South Gate Station of the subway is quite convenient, close to everywhere. Itinerary: For lunch, you can go to Hetian Street for a meal, then visit the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region Museum, in the afternoon head to the Grand Bazaar (Jinquan Shopping Mall) for a stroll, and have a big dinner at Consulate Alley in the evening. Overview: Hetian Street: Hetian First Street and Hetian Second Street are two food streets, and there are many hidden gem shops in the surrounding alleys. The lamb leg pilaf is so dazzling that not a single grain of rice is left, and the roasted liver buns burst with juice Kashgar Grab: The roasted buns for 3 yuan each can be seen from a distance with a queue, buy two to try, they're very tasty. Hetian Bingrui Shaved Ice Zongzi: Many Xinjiang girls dine in the shop, and the owner is a beautiful Reba lady, the taste is of course good~ Xinjiang International Grand Bazaar: Just stroll around and take photos, and if you want to buy souvenirs, you can go to the 'Jinquan Shopping Mall' next door. Fridge magnets for 5 yuan each, ethnic style coasters for 10 yuan each, isn't a dress for 25 yuan fragrant~ Consulate Alley: Each one looks good so no extra recommendations, there's a supermarket next door you can visit. Xilin Girl: Delicious! Ordered three cups and each one was tasty, recommended! Perfect with a big plate chicken! Chaiwopu No. 22 Spicy Chicken: Exclaimed that I finally tasted the authentic spicy chicken, really different from the spicy chicken elsewhere, one bite at a time, the tender chicken wrapped in the aroma of chili, a small portion is completely enough for two people~ Finally, how can you come to Xinjiang and not eat fruit? Hami melons, watermelons, apricots, etc. are visible everywhere on the roadside. Remember to ask for the price before buying, so as not to be shocked by high prices. Urumqi is really too delicious No more talk, sisters, remember to starve for a few days before coming
