Dunhuang Night Market — Local services in Jiuquan

The Signboard at the front in Chinese 敦煌夜市（Dunhaung Night Market), it was after 9pm , the place was so crowded, managed to try browse through some of the local & traditional items they are selling at their booths. A local night market selling souvenirs, handicraft, clothes, wood carvings, luminous cups , painting, calligraphy etc.

Plenty of Food Stalls & Restaurants , although some sellers are trying to haggle and hassle tourists to buy their stuff, or go to their restaurants, we walked through this restaurant where the staff are really nice. The Menu on board attracted our attention. It is the stall we had the bbq Goat head. We sat down for it, it tasted really good! Overall the service is good and attentive .
