Turpan Bazaar, Xinjiang Uygur, China
3.5 (7 reviews) Spent Ranking #14 in Turpan Flea & Street Markets
Local Bazaar
Small Bazaar centrally located in Turpan. This is very much a working market for the local Uyghur population, large entrance but soon becomes a maze of alleys packed full of locals buying clothes, household goods, carpets, food, toys and everything else under the sun. The meat section is worth seeing, but not for the squeamish !!! In front of the main entrance is a colourful "jumble" of fresh fruit vendors, we picked up some cheap fruit. Associated with / next to the bazaar is a partially covered street with tables and chairs and lined with small and cheap stalls selling cooked foods, great smells and sights indeed. Well worth a 30min look around if only to get a taste of how the locals live, A great place to watch the locals.

Crowded
Fun and crowded place to visit. Really a local market with hundreds of stalls selling everything you can think of. Definitely have a look at the meat areas and pick up some fruits and veggies from the vendors and try some of the restaurant vendors there too as the food is fresh, fast, cheap and awesome.

Small bazaar for local Uyghur population
THis is a nice small bazaar; it is not grand and big like the Urumqi bazaar, but this one is more for local people for their daily necessities like clothing and food. Good for people watching. Outside and around this area is the "Night Market", which is only for local food stalls and local food restaurants.
