Korla Night Market
Paras aika vierailla
The best time is from 7 pm to 9 pm, when the night market has just opened and the food is freshest. The whole roasted lamb show also starts at 7 pm sharp. Summer visits are even better; while daytime temperatures are high, the evenings are cool and pleasant.
Budjettivinkit
Entry to the night market is free. A per person budget of 30-60 yuan will leave you very full. Grilled lamb skewers are 5 yuan each, much cheaper than at restaurants. It is recommended to gather a few people and order a whole roasted lamb together for better value per person.

Nopeat faktat: Attracting over 3,000 food lovers every night, this night market boasts more than 80 stalls. Xinjiang specialties such as roast whole lamb and yogurt zongzi can all be found here, with most stalls staying open until two in the morning.
Kohokohdat: Every evening at 7 o'clock sharp, a Uyghur uncle sets up a giant roasting pit two meters in diameter in the center of the night market and performs a live roast whole lamb show. The smoky aroma of spiced mutton wafts halfway down the street, and the gathered crowd spontaneously bursts into applause and cheers.
Sisäpiirin vinkit
- To avoid queues, head to the stalls at the far end. The locals' favorite long-established shops are there, with equally good food but half the crowd.
- When ordering yogurt with sticky rice, ask the vendor to add an extra spoonful of homemade jam. The sweet and sour flavor will be taken up a notch, and there is no extra charge.
- Bringing wet wipes is important. Your fingers will get greasy from eating hand-grabbed lamb and grilled skewers, and there are not many faucets on site.
- Do not rush to order the first baked bun you see at the entrance. Walk about 200 meters further in to find Abula Brothers, whose baked buns have thinner skins and more filling.
