In my impression, there is only one large supermarket in the old city of Kashgar, called Ihelas.

It looks nothing special on the surface. It is also an open shelf with a row of checkout counters, but it sells some unique things in Kashgar. Can it be used as a place for tourists? Attractions? Just looking around.

This travel book will show them one by one.

Snacks, snacks

Cheese: This is the legendary Dilraba's favorite cheese pimple. It looks tempting, but the taste of this cheese is completely different from the sweet cheese slices and dried milk we usually eat.

This pimple is original, sour and hard, pure dry cheese. It can be used as a snack, and it can also be used for making pasta and cooking. The calories are relatively low, but I still advise you not to try it easily. Almost every mainland tourist who eats it for the first time can't accept it.

if you are interested in trying, just buy a small piece, make sure you can swallow it, and then buy more.

Candy: You can see many candies that look like foreign imports in supermarkets in Kashgar. If you look closely at the words on them, most of them are in Uighur, and the price is higher than ordinary candies, including candies with dried fruits such as badamu and walnut kernel, which are sweet and positive. Most of these dried fruits are produced in Xinjiang and made from local materials, which is very suitable for buying some to take back to relatives and children. Yogurt: Because Xinjiang is rich in red dates, walnuts, raisins and milk, the yogurt here is mostly red dates, walnuts and oats. Jujube yogurt in Kashi supermarket is still worth trying.

jujube juice: besides jujube yogurt, there are various kinds of jujube juice in Kashgar. As I mentioned in my previous travel notes, Kashgar is a place that is good at producing and selling itself. Rich products are the advantage of this city, so there is never a shortage of fruits, vegetables, meat and noodles. When traveling in Xinjiang, food often leaves a deeper impression than the scenery.

original yogurt:? Tianrun? It is a local milk brand in Xinjiang. The original yogurt is very authentic, and the price is higher than the yogurt we usually see. It is the real milk produced by Tianshan Ranch, which is necessary every day in Xinjiang.

Drinks: Buying drinks that you don't know in Kashi supermarket has become a great pleasure to travel in this city.

because I really don't know what's in it, I can only guess by the pattern on the outer package, and I can read the picture, sometimes? Press? Theme, sometimes not.

for example, the following beverage is? Red Bull in Kashgar? .

abid: among all the drinks, this is the best-selling carbonated drink in Kashgar. It is a kind of soda, which is called? Sprite of Kashgar people? , bubble? Energetic? It's big, but it tastes much sweeter than Sprite, and the sugar content is very high. If you travel to Kashgar, you can buy it and taste it, and experience the life of the local people, but drinking too much is not conducive to losing weight.

specialty category

Lycium barbarum: It can be said that this is a familiar plant, and it is called? The king of anthocyanins? Adjust the body's pH, fight free radicals, lower blood pressure, prevent radiation and improve immunity? Due to the different climate and geographical environment, the output of Lycium barbarum in Xinjiang is very large, and the cost performance is better. After coming back from Xinjiang, I have a habit of soaking in water with black wolfberry.

remember not to use boiling water, use warm water, and it will be beautiful purple, that's right.

maka: a deified article, which can be drunk by both men and women. Its main function is to awaken vitality and resist fatigue, and it will be more obvious if you drink it for a long time. There are two kinds of maca I saw in the supermarket in Kashgar, maca fruit and maca.

during my months in Kashgar, I sent some to a sister in the mainland. At that time, I was still a little uneasy. I didn't do this business either. What if I bought something bad for others? Unexpectedly, a few months later, she came to me again and said that she had bought black wolfberry and maca before. Husband and old man are drinking well. Want to buy some more? It's a pity that I was not in Kashgar at that time.

But this incident shows that the black wolfberry and maca in Kashgar are really worth buying. If you travel to Kashgar, interested friends can look for them in the supermarket themselves.

dried seabuckthorn: a kind of fruit with extremely high vitamin c content, which usually grows in dry land in southern Xinjiang, with large areas and thorns on its body. When I was in go on road trip, Xinjiang, I often saw it hanging by the roadside in strings. Later, we would take a plastic bag and pick it up at any time.

There are also black gourds. You can see many wild ones along the Pamirs.

In retrospect, there are some things that can only be experienced in the local area. In fact, you can't pick a few pieces at a time, but it is a rare pleasure in traveling in Kashgar.

tea: from Pamirs? Flowers? Many of them only appear in one season? Tonic? .

in addition, there is this kind of tadpole with big size? Head? , thin and long? Tail? Little fruit, I don't know what it is so far, and it became my trip in Kashgar, Xinjiang. Mystery? One.

other

essential oils and soaps: Ili is the midsummer every year? Purple gas from the east? At that time, a large area of lavender was in full bloom, and there were other flowers in the sea of flowers, so in supermarkets in Kashgar and even in Xinjiang, you often saw all kinds of lavender, rose and daily necessities with all kinds of flowers.
