古兰丹姆冰激凌店

Gulandam Ice Cream Shop is a star shop in Liuxing Street, a famous tourist attraction in Yining City, Xinjiang. The shop is a century-old shop that specializes in handmade ice cream of various flavors. The ice cream in the shop is not very sweet, a bit like sorbet, but with a richer taste and flavor. The biggest feature is that there are many different self-service ingredients that can be added to the ice cream yourself.

To be honest, the environment is nice and the taste is acceptable, but I think the price is a bit high. Some small alleys have the same taste of ice cream as this one, and you can enjoy it for only two or three yuan. The most important thing is that the employees' faces are full of "tired! tired! tired!" The employees I saw late on Sunday night can still be seen early on Monday morning. I asked around and rested for three or four hours!

⭕Kazanqi⭐⭐⭐⭐ There are many blue houses, which are very distinctive. There are some yogurt sellers, teahouses and shops renting ethnic costumes. ⭕Liuxing Street⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It is generally cleaner than Kazanqi, and cars are not allowed to enter after 7 o'clock. There are also many places to take pictures. ⭕Food ❶Gulandam Ice Cream: Many people buy the classic original flavor of 9.9, and then add various small ingredients by themselves. There are super many people in the Internet celebrity store, but the queue is quite fast. The ice cream is better than that of Hotan Second Street in Urumqi. Zaxiangzi Noodle Soup: It is not particularly delicious but not thunder. It is quite standard. 26 per serving, with side dishes, noodle soup (cabbage, jelly blocks, mutton), oil cakes, and flower rolls. ❷Hazina Pastry: Because we went late, there were not many pastries. I bought apricot jam and yogurt bread with a strong wind. Because I was full, I tried a bite of apricot jam bread and didn’t like it. It was too sweet... I will comment after eating the yogurt bread. ⚠️A restaurant I really like: Mijiti Fast Food Restaurant The pilaf and fried meat noodles there are super delicious (not in Kazanqi and Liuxing Street) I feel that there is no need to deliberately check in at Kazanqi and Liuxing Street. If you come here to take ethnic photos, then you can. There are many restaurants, so you have to choose carefully...

I've been to Six Star Street three times and the snacks here are truly amazing. Sharing my food map! Gulandam Ice Cream 9 original flavor for 9.9r, and best of all, you get free toppings! You can sit inside and try all the toppings. The first and second branches are on opposite sides of the street; if you want a different flavor, go to the second branch! Grape Tree #FoodFlavor #LightLuxuryTravel The apricot milk pastry has a crispy, milky exterior, and the nut filling creates a layered flavor. Worth a try! Ili Princess Afternoon Tea Hotan Rose Latte + Fried Cake. The fried cake is crispy on the outside and sweet on the inside, quite amazing! The latte was average, 18r for the set, and the fried cake alone is 4r. Zhencifang Xinjiang Rice Noodles It seems like all three branches are owned by the same owner, so business is booming. I ordered the fried rice noodles with chicken, which was generous with the meat and filling—very authentic! Blue Wall Lung Offal lovers should give this a try! The place has lungs, stomach, and rice sausage, all freshly cut and served with the sauce. It's quite good, but I prefer the rice sausage. They also have local milk yogurt, which is excellent! Tatar Pastries I bought a milk Napoleon, a cheese bun, and a walnut tart. I've been dying for the walnut tart. The mini version of the chegao had a hint of chocolate, and the ingredients were incredibly filling! The milk Napoleon had a rich, slightly sweet flavor. The cheese bun was average; I prefer the Zhengfei fresh milk version. I came across chegao while walking around during the day. If you cut too much, you can skip it! I thought the nut head was delicious! I also had a meal on Liuxing Street, and many local staff recommended Langge. Personally, I thought it was just average...feel free to do some more research.
