Reporter's Notes
Resonance in the culture of "happy events".
Urumqi Evening News all-media reporter Wang Lina Dili Alam Alimurati
The four joys of life: a long drought and nectar, meeting old acquaintances in other places, when the gold list is inscribed, and the night of candles in the cave room. During this May Day holiday, as one of the characteristic cultural and tourism activities of Urumqi, the sweet happy event on the Grand Bazaar Pedestrian Street aroused everyone's emotional resonance.
With strong local customs and colorful festival activities, many traditional folk cultures, including wedding culture, have not only aroused widespread heated discussions and attention in the society, but also bloomed through innovative presentation and diversified communication, attracting more and more young people to participate, and injecting new vitality into the inheritance and development of traditional culture.

At the interview site, the reporter saw the specific appearance of "people are in good spirits at happy events", whether it is local tourists or foreign tourists, everyone always has a smile on their faces when enjoying the wedding performance, and discusses the differences in the marriage customs and culture of various ethnic groups from time to time.
An interviewee from Gansu told reporters that she had lived in Urumqi for five years, and when she saw the part of eating naan in the Uyghur wedding performance, she thought that there was a similar link in the wedding she attended every day. A tourist from Sichuan, while watching the performance, started a live video broadcast and shared the cultural and interesting things during the trip through the camera. She said: "When the wedding was live-streamed, the traffic was quite high, and everyone was very interested. ”
In fact, this is the concrete embodiment of telling the story of Xinjiang that forges the sense of community of the Chinese nation. The Grand Bazaar Pedestrian Street is enriching the spiritual and cultural life of the people of all ethnic groups with multi-level cultural products.
Zheng Fan, a tourist from Henan, said that when he came to Urumqi for the first time, he prepared a five-day in-depth tour, and that visiting the Grand Bazaar Pedestrian Street on the first day was like turning a book about Xinjiang.
Yes, now tourists who come to Xinjiang first stop at the Grand Bazaar Pedestrian Street, which has become a window for everyone to understand and explore Xinjiang.
As Lei Jing, a tourist, said, I like the specialty raisins very much, and the sales staff introduced that the origin is Turpan, so the next stop is to go to Turpan to see.
In order to allow more tourists to see the inheritance, development, innovation and integration of the excellent cultures of various ethnic groups. At the beginning of this year, Tianshan District integrated and upgraded the resources of the Grand Bazaar Pedestrian Street, in addition to the renovation of hardware facilities such as toilets, a new handicraft workshop street with the style of Laoshan West Lane was built in the Grand Bazaar Food Street, and many well-known brands in Xinjiang such as Xinjiang Girl Chase and Tianshan Snow Lotus were introduced.
As a window to display the achievements of Xinjiang's cultural tourism, the Grand Bazaar Pedestrian Street is "breaking the circle" through local folk culture, further releasing consumption potential and promoting the vigorous development of local cultural tourism.
The brand-new Grand Bazaar Pedestrian Street is waiting for you to explore, and the new Xinjiang is waiting for you to perceive!
