Grand Bazaar, Islamic bazaar in Tianshan District, China
The Grand Bazaar spans 100,000 square meters with 3,000 stores selling carpets, spices, silk products, traditional clothing, jewelry, and regional handicrafts.
The bazaar, completed in 2002 and opened to the public in June 2003, stands as a modern interpretation of commercial centers along the ancient Silk Road.
The bazaar incorporates Islamic architectural elements including geometric patterns, domes, and minarets while hosting performances of Uyghur, Kazakh, and Hui traditional arts.
The market operates daily from 9:30 AM to midnight, with free entry to the main complex and a separate fee of 50 RMB for access to the Silk Road Tower.
An 80-meter observation tower provides views of Urumqi while housing exhibitions about the Silk Road history on each floor.
