Hustle and bustle has returned in the Chinese province of Xinjiang as the authorities withdrew lockdown restrictions after a month. 

The main shopping centres and food streets were found packed with visitors buying and eating the famous Xinjiang foods. The mood is festive and people have smiles returning on their faces.

At the same time, industrial activities also resumed in the province with people engaged in their usual business.

Xinjiang region in mainland China was the last one from where lockdown has been withdrawn. The restrictions were clamped a month ago after detection of COVID-19 infection cases.
