Lunch in Erdaoqiao
I had a delicious lunch of roast lamb.
After the visit to the museum we hopped into a taxi and were in Erdaoqiao, the predominantly Uighur area. This was the hotspot during the recent riot. The Uighurs went after the Han Chinese because of some dispute at a local factory. Then the Hans, seeing the inaction of the police went with knives and sticks to Erdaoqiao and there was the ensuing bloodshed. The Chinese army came, quelled the unrest and arrested a few Uighurs. Most of the people hurt were Han Chinese. Here the predominant smell are from roasted lamb and chicken. Of course I had to have lamb.
