Not far from Yasinjan's restaurant, businessman Bayiaji had no time for lunch because he was busy inspecting his workshop's kawap grills before they were shipped to East China's Shandong province and South China's Shenzhen city.
The 39-year-old calls himself "king of the kawap grills" because he claims he can make the grills look like "traditional Uygur palaces".
Bayiaji's business and craftsmanship in the iron kawap grills were passed from generation to generation. He now has plans to inject some innovative elements in the family tradition.
"I've been learning about the structure and domes of the palaces in Europe," he said.
"Soon, I will make European-style kawap grills."
