Over time, a fair was formed, during which an active exchange of goods began, merchants from different parts of Central Asia flocked here. For a time, the bazaar became the center of life, and to this day Chorsu, located at the intersection of 4 shopping streets, attracts visitors with fragrant fresh fruits, oriental sweets and colorful Uzbek souvenirs.
