In the heart of Northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, where snow-capped mountains meet golden deserts 🌄, Habiba is on a mission: to make the world fall in love with her homeland’s culinary treasures. The Uygur entrepreneur runs a buzzing dessert shop that reimagines traditional pastries with modern flair, blending honey-drenched baklava with Instagram-worthy designs.
“Xinjiang’s flavors tell our story,” says Habiba, whose creations feature locally sourced walnuts, rose petals, and pomegranate syrup. “I want travelers to taste not just desserts, but centuries of Silk Road heritage.” 🐪✨
Her shop has become a hotspot for foodies exploring Xinjiang’s vibrant culture – from throat-singing performances to intricate embroidery workshops. With tourism booming, she’s even launched DIY pastry kits for visitors to recreate treats at home. “Come try our hospitality,” she grins. “Every bite is an adventure!”
