Hetian One-Day Tour Guide and Expenses

After finishing Kashgar, the next stop is Hetian, a region famous for its jade and the second-to-last stop in southern Xinjiang. This article records my travel itinerary in Hetian. If there are any shortcomings, family members are welcome to leave comments and add!
The first stop is the Yotkan Ancient City, located in Hetian County, 10 kilometers away from Hetian City. Transportation is not very convenient. You can take a taxi for 30 yuan, or take bus No. 2 or No. 6 to Xiaorbage Township, then transfer to bus No. 302 to Yotkan Ancient City.
The ancient city is not large, and it takes about half an hour to walk around. There are very characteristic buildings inside that you can check in. It is quite hot during the day, so it is recommended to find a cool place to stay and wait for the performance time. There are performances from time to time, so remember to listen to the broadcast. In the evening, there is a performance called 'Wan Fang Yue Zou You Yu Tian', so it is recommended to come in the evening!
After leaving Yotkan Ancient City, the next stop is Tuancheng. This is a characteristic place where you can stroll around and check in. There is a place selling yellow noodles and shaved ice yogurt, which is very good and worth a try!
After checking in at Tuancheng, you must visit the Hetian Old Night Market. It is known as the largest night market in Xinjiang, and it is indeed large. There are various snacks, so save some stomach space to try them one by one.
Let's calculate today's expenses:
Meals: 25 yuan
Yotkan Ancient City ticket: 20 yuan
Supper: 25 yuan
Others: 18 yuan
Total: 88 yuan
