I joined a few people from the hostel to check out Kashgar's famous animal bazaar. It was so impressive and a very serious matter. I realized that I was attending the Xinjiang equivalent of a fancy car show. A male camel for instance is worth about $10,000 and a ewe $200, although these prices could still be bargained down. Nevertheless, in this part of the world, animals represent tremendous wealth and are an important investment.
