The street lasting on the northeast from Id Square Kakh, - the best for purchase of carpets. The best carpets in the region are weaved manually in Hotan, but excellent products are on sale and in the Kashgar markets.

Malenkaya Street conducting on the East from Id Square Kakh, parallel to Tszefanl, - the "hat" centre of the small town. What only headdresses, nosimy in Central Asia, you here will not see! Except the white and green square caps which have been so loved by the old Uyghur, prayful hats, skullcaps, warm fur caps and ordinary peak-caps of working people, any headdresses in what the history of China is reflected here are on sale. Having passed on this small street on the South, turn on the right - before you there will be big, partly underground, a market taking a place between the area and the hat street. Clothes, carpets and ware, also Uigur nutlets, sweets and spices there are on sale. In recesses small smiths tap with the hammers.
