鼓楼广场

Maybe I am just jaded from too much time in China but this was a lovely evening. Adjacent to the drum tower (Gu Lou) there is a pretty standard Chinese night market with some snacks along with knick-knacks and clothing stalls. There seemed to be an exceptionally disproportionate ratio of underwear stalls with very un-Chinese physiqued looking mannequins to other kinds of stalls but there are worse things.Around the drum tower itself there was a panoply of food carts set up. Most of the carts sold various forms of meat on a stick but since I happen to love meat on a stick that worked out really well for me. I recommend grabbing some Uighur naan bread along with some lamb on a stick and grab a glass of sugar cane juice and call it a meal.
