Yengisar

Knifes, blades, swords, Yengisar
This is a town in between Kashgar and Shache (Yarkant) specialised in making Yengisar Knifes. Andy (my partner) bought himself 4 colorful knifes from here but what? Unfortunately when entering railway station, the custom officer wanted all knifes seized and that cost nearly 200 yuan.
Here are some knifes or blades which I found very interesting to show to tourists, therefore I had this photo taken. The marketing strategy here is, whenever the knife seller wanted to show their customers the quality of knifes, they just grab a cheap knife and they cut it by using the knife you just picked, that's the way of selling knifes in Yengisar.
Islamic gambling?
I saw so many Uyghur Muslims such as this photo, in full gambling actions in public. I don't know much about Uyghur peoples or Uyghurese, I just wanted to show you a photo of Yengisar, hope you accept.
