Gaotai County is highly recommended

According to local customs, when a family increases by a generation and a male child is born, the family must negotiate with neighbors and seek their consent before they can add another floor to the ancestral house. This practice is passed down through generations and is irreversible. Therefore, the residences in Gaotai are also known as 'Unity Buildings'. Coincidentally, the word 'Uyghur' itself means 'unity, alliance, assistance'. This not only reflects the mutual respect, tolerance, and adherence to etiquette among the residents of Gaotai but also the principle that one cannot occupy space without the neighbors' consent. The dwellings in Gaotai are imbued with a rich folk culture. Most of the renovated houses have been rented out and turned into various small shops, including specialty craft galleries, cafes, beauty photography studios, book bars, guesthouses, etc., offering a wide variety. There are also many inheritors of intangible cultural heritage, who support their families with their crafts, such as pottery, medicinal teas, cobblers, weaving workshops, Yengisar knives, brick carvings, plaster sculptures, printed and dyed fabrics, Mohe tobacco, blacksmithing, and more
