Hetian : Shopping

There are various kinds of souvenir and specialties in Hetian. In the bazaars of the city, tourists can find a large variety of traditional local handicrafts, including jade, silk, carpets and wooden bowls; among them jade, silk and carpets are famous as "the three treasures of Hetian".

Hetianese Jade
The word Hetian means "a place that abunds in jade" in the Uyghur language. Hetian is one of the best known jade-producing areas in China and also around the world. The city is also the source of most of the early nephrite jade used in China. Hetianese jade products are considered to be precious works of art and exported many countries all over the world.

Silk and Wool Carpets
The history of hand-woven silk and wool carpets in Hetian stretches back as early as 2,000 years ago. With their bright colors, beautiful pattern, strong Uyghur ethnic features and excellent craftsmanship, silk and the Uyghur Carpets are popular with tourists both from and abroad.
