Going to southern Xinjiang without going to Kashgar is equivalent to not going, and going to Kashgar without going to the old city will be a lifelong regret! In general, maybe all kinds of media have praised the old city of Kashgar too much, and there will be some overstatement after personal experience. Everyone has a heart in Kashgar and I imagined it to be so perfect!
MoreThe ancient city of Kashgar is located in Xinjiang and has a history of several hundred years. It is one of the famous tourist attractions in Kashgar and even Xinjiang. Most of the buildings in the ancient city are full of unique styles. The streets are crisscrossed and have a unified style, which is very suitable for taking pictures. Tourists strolling in it seem to have walked into the exotic land of Central Asia, which is very spectacular. In addition, the ancient city of Kashgar is also an important filming location for the movie "The Kite Runner". You can come here to find familiar scenes in the movie.
The old city of Kashgar is mainly composed of Id Kah Temple. It is an irregularly shaped urban area with a length and width of nearly 2 kilometers. There are many streets and alleys in the old city, where you can stroll around and take pictures along the way, which takes about half a day. The recommended route is to visit Id Kah Temple first, then travel east along Chasa Road, and end the tour at the high-rise residential buildings on the east side and Kashgar East Bazaar. In addition, many tourists who come to Kashgar will stay in the old city and spend a few days slowly savoring the historical charm here.
Visiting the ancient city of Kashgar means appreciating the unique architecture and streets here. Most of the buildings in the ancient city have been renovated, and the houses are relatively new and intact, but the rich local customs have been retained during the renovation. Here you can see colored earth walls and brick walls, with round arches, colorful doors and windows and other special decorations, which are very beautiful and can be photographed along the way. In addition, if you want to experience more primitive and unique architecture, you can also visit the high-rise houses on the riverside on the east side of the ancient city.
In addition to appreciating the architecture, many tourists will also visit the many special shops on the streets of the old city. Almost every street in the old city has its own theme, called a bazaar ("Bazaar" means market in Uyghur). Among them are Kantuman Bazar (Blacksmith Street), Dopa Bazar (Flower Hat Street), Flower Pot Bazar, Handicraft Bazar, Pottery Bazar, etc., each with its own characteristics, which can be seen along the way. There are also teahouses with special styles on the street, vendors selling special snacks such as grapes, naan, goat milk ice cream, etc., and you can also eat and stroll while shopping, which is very pleasant.
In addition, there are some houses in the city that you can visit. Generally, there are instructions on the door of these houses. After entering, you can visit the interior of typical local houses, but you usually need to buy some household goods. On the streets of the old city, you can also see grandfathers basking in the sun and children playing, with a strong sense of life.
There are several important attractions when visiting the ancient city. For example, the Id Kah Temple in the ancient city is one of the largest temples in the country. The temple has magnificent buildings, and the five daily prayers are even more grand, which can witness the strong religious atmosphere. The high-rise residential buildings on the east side of the ancient city are the preserved ancient city areas, and the mud houses and cross-street buildings are very unique. The Kashgar East Bazar (i.e. Kashgar Central and West Asia International Trade Market) across the river on the east side is a famous shopping mall in Kashgar, where many Xinjiang specialties and handicrafts such as dried fruits, silk products, essential oils, and Yingjisha knives are gathered.

Xinjiang's most distinctive ancient city, five-level A scenic spot, "not to Kashgar is not to Xinjiang". Western style, a lot of food. The most punching place - Gaotai House, then slow inn, century-old teahouse, rainbow lane, Yusu Fu Maza and so on. Mutton skewers, tank meat, roast pigeons taste very good. It takes a day.
The exotic old city is the location of small shoes for Iranian movies. It is really suitable for walking in every alley. It has a feeling of crossing. It is full of painters.
On the 92nd day of the poor tour of China, Sister Mei went to the ancient city of Kashgar to apply for a border defense certificate in the morning, and then went to the ancient city of Kashgar. By the way, the border defense certificate is not in the administrative service center now, and it has been changed to 35 processing points, reducing the queue time. Kashgar is the seat of the ancient Shule State, one of the 36 countries in the Western Region, and has a history of building the city for more than 2,100 years. Until the early 8th century to the middle and late Tang Dynasty, Shule's title was gradually replaced by "Kashgar". When Zhang Shule passed through Shule State, he marveled at how prosperous it is! Faxian and Xuanxuan also went through here to get the scriptures from the west. Kashgar Old City is located in the center of Kashgar, a national tourist area and Xinjiang's first historical and cultural city. It has been said that "if you don't get to Kashgar, you don't get to Xinjiang; if you don't get to the ancient city, you don't get to Kashgar". In the ancient city of 3.6 square kilometers, there are many heavy historical, cultural, architectural, folk customs relics. The bricks and tiles here reveal the atmosphere of history, and the fragments of time are scattered in every corner. Shuttled in the old streets and alleys, I always want to pick up my mobile phone and take a photo. The Atigar Mosque is the landmark of the ancient city of Kashgar, and is the largest mosque in Xinjiang and even the country. Not only is it large-scale, but it is also a place of "gathering" of Muslims in Xinjiang, and many Muslims come to worship every day. We were in church today, and we refused to visit!
I went to the ancient city of Kashgar 15 years ago. It seems to be abroad. It is natural and simple. I am impressed. I don't know how to do it now. Strive for the opportunity to go again.
The night view of the ancient city of Kashgar is completely different from the daytime, and you must not miss it. Many people are in the old city at night to visit the sweat bazaar, or find a place to skewer the beer. In fact, the night view of some small alleys is really beautiful. In addition to the more famous scenery such as "cloth bag lane", "corner encounter love", "abacus wall", "meet Kashgar meet you", it is very interesting to stroll around as you like. I feel that the scenery and layout in many small alleys are carefully designed and planned by high people and made uniformly.
The most "exotic ancient city" Kashgar satisfies all my illusions about the western region. It is a must-have place on the ancient Silk Road. It has both human history and vast natural beauty. There is a saying that "not Kashgar is not Xinjiang". The ancient city of Kashgar has been located in the westernmost part of the motherland for thousands of years. The area is not desolate and still lively. It has stood here for many years and welcomed friends from afar.
[View] It is still very interesting. In fact, it is a very characteristic ancient city. It is very distinctive in China. It is worth playing and there is no ticket. This is very good. The local prices are still quite expensive, because the local wages are relatively high and the income level is relatively high. So food and lodging are more expensive, people who don't have money don't go, people who don't have money can go to play, after all, travel is a luxury, right?
