I found it in Xinjiang, the grassland hidden in my dreams~
I once heard a saying: You don't know how vast your country is until you've been to Xinjiang!
The vastness of Xinjiang is evident on the map🗺︎
When you actually set foot on the land of Xinjiang and see the endless grasslands, the boundless Gobi deserts, the sense of grandeur is even more shocking than what you see on the map

Xinjiang International Bazaar is a must-check-in place for foreign tourists to Urumqi. In fact, it is all a small shop for tourist products. When you go to weekends and holidays, there are Xinjiang ethnic singing and dancing performances. In short, it is a lively one.
International Grand Bazaar is interesting with food and drinks aplenty. Most stalls accept cash but some don't. Free seating for all. Can get quite crowded. Must visit when in Urumqi, Xinjiang.
When you come to Urumqi International Bazaar, how can you miss the original "Silk Road Impression" singing and dance dinner of "Banquet Art One". The venue for the singing and dance performance is on the fourth floor of the Grand Bazaar Building 4. Out of the elevator, you can see the Banquet Art Theater. Those elegant handsome men and beautiful women, wearing bright traditional costumes, are incisive to the essence of the Western music and dance for thousands of years! A wonderful performance for more than an hour seems to be telling a long history. Very shocking! Here, you can not only enjoy Xinjiang's special singing and dancing performances, but also taste authentic Xinjiang cuisine. The ticket includes a Xinjiang special meal: roast buns, barbecue, cold dishes and pilaf noodles.
The actors are very hardworking, excellent, and can feel the atmosphere. I hope that there will be more customs and culture of various ethnic groups, and the cultural heritage of the ethnic group will be reflected.
Xinjiang beauty is well-deserved, and the dance is good 👍
The program is rich in ethnic characteristics, entertainment and traditional culture are combined, and the actors dance beautifully.
Very good, worth seeing, especially like the performance
