Four weirds in Xinjiang

Because of the local terrain and climate, you may find some odd phenomenas happened in Xinjiang, for example:

1. Wearing the wadded jackets in the morning while gauzes in the afternoon. The temperature difference between morning and afternoon is dramatic. The morning is always very cold and people need to wear the wadded or fur-lined jackets to prevent the cold, while after noon, the temperature will jump significantly. People have to dress down to keep cool.

2. Enjoying the watermelon around a burning stove. Thanks to the local climate and geologic condition, the local fruits are watery and sweet. As the temperature in the evening is very low, people always make a fire in the room to keep warm. Meanwhile, Uygurs always treat themselves to some watermelon from the cellar after dinner, even in the cold winter.

3. Eating food with hands directly instead of using chopsticks. Zhuafan meaning having the food with hand, is the local specia dish. It made of rice, muttojn, yellow radish, onion and vegetable oil as the raw materials.

4. Dongbula, which is a kind of stringed instrument cherished by all locals that can be seen almost everywhere in Xinjiang. The instrument contains two strings, with a four or five octave musical scale. Someone who can produce extemporaneous songs while playing the dongbula is called aken, which means a wandering minstrel. Melodies are divided into singing and speaking types, and the rhythym is a mixture of beats.
