A Walking Guide to the Old City of Moyu
An old city quieter than Hotan
Mo Yu Old Town is northwest of Hotan City, with narrower streets and fewer tourists: wooden rail balconies, shaded alleyways, and small handicraft workshops quietly coexist. If you want to avoid crowds in Hotan and capture the rhythm of daily life, this is a more leisurely alternative choice.

Destination Details
The old town is primarily residential, showing everyday life: tailor shops, clay oven stalls, and street corner tea stalls take turns appearing. The name of Moyu County comes from the Moyu River, with a high density of culture and a slow pace of life.
Activities
- Alley strolling: The alleys are quietest in the early morning light
- Workshops: You can see craftsmanship in small knife, wooden, and tailor shops
- Combination: Arrange visits off-peak with Hetian Old Night Market and Tuan City Old Street
The old town has no formal tourist facilities; dress and photograph respectfully towards residents, and avoid gathering during prayer times.
