Such a thing in terms of cleanliness and the contingent there is certainly peculiar, but you can buy something cheap

The market is like a market. We visited there and visited this market. We bought a lot of fresh and high-quality products. Sellers will always prompt and advise
Do you want to see the 18th century live? Then you can go to Osh 🤣 nothing has changed there since then. You can only go there under threat of torture.
For a lover of markets) It seemed to me very noisy there, although the market is the same. But we ran around and didn't buy anything. There are plenty of goods, but I wanted something more civilized. And here, well, right 80th))))
A large urban grocery and clothing market in the center of Bishkek, a historical place for the market. Everyone knows this place is full of foreign tourists.
I don't like the main bazaar as such. This is the largest lochotherapy clinic in the country. They try to cheat everywhere. For example, buying offal for animals (lungs, liver, trimmings, etc.) is generally dangerous – they are "pumped up" with something, and animals get very sick after this poison. I think it's high time to move it outside the city. Periodically, I only go to the northern part of the bazaar ("beyond the river"), where there are wholesalers and you can buy very inexpensive (1.5 times cheaper than in supermarkets) really high-quality goods.
Everything can be found, but it's a mess, parking spaces are few for such a large market.Market workers are polite, although prices are sometimes overstated, of course the market needs to bargain.
The market administration would think about parking spaces, it would not be bad.
You take the money for parking, please try your best.
A classic Central Asian bazaar:
A crowd of people, vendors, sounds, smells and tastes.
Tea houses and vegetables, products and seedlings.
It is here that the whole flavor of Central Asia manifests itself
The colorful but clean enough market resembles the collective farm market of Kazan, but with a more oriental flavor .you can buy everything and it is not expensive, especially for national utensils.
Do you want to know what an oriental bazaar is? This way for you!
But civilization has reached here, which is good!
Clothes, vegetables, fruits, meat, spices are sold....
I'll bet you five, because you can buy almost everything here for the cheapest in Bishkek. But the agony that you will experience will be worth it.
I advise you to read the "review" of the Osh market from Mikhail Levantovsky:

A large range of products, but unfortunately a dirty market. Where people pass, cars get in the way. Extra trading lines. If they were removed, then people would have a free passage.
