Seeing the disappointed expressions of my companions, I decided to modify the itinerary: Everyone went to the Grand Bazaar in the afternoon, went to Turpan tomorrow, and then took the train back to Nanjing from Lupan in the evening (we originally left Urumqi tomorrow evening back to Nanjing)
I shared my thoughts with my companions, and everyone approved it without objection. I decided to use this car, and negotiated a price with the beautiful driver. She will drive us tomorrow.

Xinjiang International Grand Bazaar was completed on June 26, 2003. It is the largest Grand Bazaar in the world (Uighur: bazaar.
