An Ancient City Keeping the Strongest Uyghur Customs
Kashgar in the southwest of Xinjiang is one of China’s westernmost cities, adjacent to Kizilsu to the northwest, Aksu to the northeast, Hotan to the east, Tajikistan to the west, Afghanistan and Pakistan to the southwest. Neighboring countries include Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and India.
2,100 years ago, whether the merchants passed the Pamirs from west to east or crossed the edge of the Taklimakan Desert on the east of Kashgar, this city is an ideal resting place and an ideal trade center for goods exchange. This has also made Kashgar the millennium ancient city. The essence of Uyghur folk customs, culture, art, architectural style, and traditional economy are all condensed in this city. The old city of Kashgar is the soul of the city, covering the Id Kah Mosque, the largest mosque in Xinjiang, thirteen of the main streets and the hundreds of alleys. Many historic sites are kept well in urban Kashgar. Lying in the northeastern corner is the Kashgar Bazaar, the biggest international market in northwestern Xinjiang, where you can buy some souvenirs, local specialties and goods from near countries and enjoy local delicacies.
