Traditional naan-making techniques inherited, developed in Xinjiang

In Xinjiang, naan is not just food to satisfy hunger, but also a link connecting daily life and cultural inheritance. From the naan shops in the old streets of Kuqa to the naan-themed exhibition hall at the Urumqi Grand Bazaar, naan is facing the public with a more vivid presence. Naan comes in a dazzling variety of shapes and flavors, making it a must-buy souvenir for tourists. Cute naan-shaped cultural and creative products, as well as coffee and yogurt served in bowls made of naan, have become Internet-famous combinations sought after by young tourists.

Xinjiang people's favor for naan has traveled along the millennia-old Silk Road, accompanied by the winds of the Tianshan Mountains and the moonlight over the ancient city of Kuqa. Naan carries the persistence of senior inheritors like Rishit, and also embodies the innovation and vitality in the new era.
