I really didn't go abroad! This is the Gaotai residential area in Kashgar

The bustling and noisy old city of Kashgar makes you want to be quiet? Don't like commercialization and want to experience the beauty of ancient city architecture? Then it's really better to cross the road to the Gaotai residential area on the opposite side. Gaotai residential area is a newly rebuilt attraction, admission is free but reservation is needed, there are few tourists inside, but the architecture is really distinctive, brick carvings and wood carvings are gorgeous and exquisite, full of Western Region style. The meaning of Gaotai residential area in Uighur language is the clay pottery people on the cliff, inside are houses connected to houses, buildings connected to buildings, layer upon layer of layout. The labyrinthine alleys and unique house architecture together constitute the residential spectacle, which is the only labyrinthine city with Uighur characteristics in China. After entering, you will find that a residential area has several exits, different exits correspond to different alleys, which is quite interesting. Want to avoid the crowd to take pictures, this place is really good.
