Market

Western Mongolia


Traditional Kazakh skullcaps, wall hangings and throws, knives and dombra (traditional Kazakh two-stringed lutes) can be found amid the chaos here. Also good for fruit and vegetables. There are several cheap guanzes (canteens) here, including one run by a Uighur lady who makes Chinese–style noodles. The market doesn't really get going until the afternoon. Busiest on Saturdays.
