Since July, the pedestrian street has drawn some 200,000 people each day, with attractions such as Afanti Barbecue Paradise, Pomegranate Blossom Lane and the ever-popular Fruit Bazaar.
Beyond the bustle, everyday life tells a story of unity. In the Guyuan Lane community, 14 ethnic groups live in harmony.
Seniors sing in a choir that brings together Han, Uygur, Hui and Mongolian members; children practice Peking Opera; and neighbors of all backgrounds share laughter under a shaded pavilion.
Like pomegranate seeds held tightly together, people across Xinjiang are weaving a shared future, celebrating both diversity and togetherness.
