I was born and grew up in this street. The culture of the ancient city is everywhere here. The teahouse does not have any consumption regulations for customers, but for customers who enter the teahouse, we must take the initiative to bring a bowl of tea and a piece of naan, which is also attractive. One of the main reasons for customers.
[Explanation] 10 years ago, when Maimaidiklimu took over the teahouse, he felt that the teahouse was just a place for people to drink tea and chat, and once had the idea of closing the door to thank guests.
But when I see the elderly here drinking tea, recalling the past, and enjoying a comfortable life every day, I have the motivation to retain this warmth again.
[Explanation] Mamuti Aishan, who is 71 years old this year, is a frequent visitor here.
For 15 years, rain or shine, sitting in a fixed position every day, drinking my favorite tea, talking with three or five old friends about the happiness and unhappiness of life, and chatting about the ups and downs of youth.

Same, every day is warm so it feels like home here.
[Explanation] After the ancient city of Kashgar became a 5A-level scenic spot, Mima Tiklimu decorated the teahouse according to the traditional Uyghur dwellings, and increased the monotonous tea products in the past to more than 10 kinds, and served Xinjiang snacks such as baked buns, yogurt, and dried fruits. The tea table enriches the taste of Xinjiang.

Now it’s time to harvest the fruits. In the past, when the teahouse was operating very lightly, our family never wavered. So today, we still have to follow our service tenet, not limit the enthusiasm of customers for consumption, and inherit the good tea culture and tradition.
[Explanation] In Xinjiang, Kashgar, and the ancient city, no matter where the tourists come from, it is the most beautiful time for a century-old teahouse to taste the "slow life" and the taste of Xinjiang.
