Rishit Himit, 65, is a national-level intangible cultural heritage representative inheritor of traditional naan-making techniques. Every morning before the sunlight awakens the streets of Kuqa, the wheat aroma of naans in his shop starts to fill the air.
Rishit began learning the skill of making naans from his father at the age of 18, and now he has passed on this unique craft to his sons. Every day, local residents and tourists flock to Rishit's naan shop. By the end of a day, one or two thousand large naans made by Rishit, his sons and apprentices are all sold out.
