Two Uygur women in matching outfits walk along a city street in a recent picture.

Uygurs in western China's Xinjiang Autonomous Region have adopted the Chinese custom of dressing alike, but using their own Uygur style.

The market in Kashgar, a major Uygur city, is also a blend of cultures: a mix of Arab souk and Chinese bazaar filled with animals, spices, carpets, furs, and brilliantly hued silk dresses.
