ℹ️ Market info
🛒 What is sold here
Hotan is the historic source of the nephrite jade that entered China thousands of years ago via the Silk Road, and it remains a magnet for jade traders from China and abroad today. The market brings together vendors selling raw jade collected from the two rivers alongside finished bangles and carvings; jade trading has become a core part of the city's economy even as the annual yield of top-quality material has declined. White 'mutton-fat' jade is the most highly prized, sought after by collectors and gem investors across Asia and beyond

💡 Tips for traders
Buy jade only from trusted vendors and ask for a certification/appraisal on higher-value pieces; prices vary widely by color, clarity and size; visiting on Sunday bazaar day offers a wider range of sellers
