Unity Square is located in the center of Hotan City. The sculpture on the square of Chairman Mao shaking hands with Kurban Tulum is a symbol of the city. It recalls the famous story from 1958, when Kurban, a farmer from Yutian, rode a donkey to Beijing to meet Chairman Mao. The area around the square is a commercial district, and in the evening residents gather to dance and stroll, creating a lively atmosphere. Admission is free. It is a good starting point for a city tour, within walking distance of the Hotan night market and the Round City.
