Xinjiang International Grand Bazaar, which was completed in June 2003, is the largest farmers’ bazaar in the world, integrating Islamic culture, architecture, ethnic commerce, entertainment and catering.

It is an exhibition center for Xinjiang tourism products. Known as “the window of Xinjiang, Central Asia and the world”, the bazaar was included in the “top 10 buildings” of Urumqi in 2004. Its architecture is rich in Islamic style and reflects the prosperity of the ancient Silk Road, while also embodying the strong ethnic characteristics and regional culture of China’s western regions.
