Xiangfei Garden turns out to be the real existence of Xiangfei! Right in Kashgar!

Xiangfei Garden turns out to be the real existence of Xiangfei! Right in Kashgar! When I was a child watching 'My Fair Princess', I really liked Xiangfei, who was not only a beautiful legendary figure from the Western Regions, but also a real historical figure! It turns out, she was from Kashgar~ "Xiangfei Garden" is a cultural tourism area themed around Xiangfei, and the "Tomb of Xiangfei" within it is an Islamic-style ancient tomb building with a history of 350 years. This place is only a ten-minute drive from "Kashgar Old Town", and is a must-visit spot when coming to Kashgar. About the "Tomb of Xiangfei": The tomb houses five generations of the same family, totaling 72 people. The first generation is the famous Islamic missionary 'Yusuf Hoja'. After his death, his eldest son 'Apak Hoja' took over his father's missionary work, became a famous master of the 'Yichen sect' of Islam in Kashgar during the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and even seized the power of the Yarkand Khanate for a time. After his death, he was also buried here, and because his fame surpassed that of his father, the tomb was later called 'Apak Hoja Tomb'. Among the Hoja descendants buried here, there was a woman named 'Iparhan' (Uyghur, meaning 'Fragrant Lady'), who was Emperor Qianlong's beloved consort Rongfei. It is said that she always had a strong scent of jujube flowers on her, hence she was known as Xiangfei. Xiangfei was the fifth-generation grandniece of Apak Hoja, and actually did not hold a high status in the family. Due to the folk hype of Xiangfei, this family tomb gradually became known as Xiangfei's former garden, becoming a popular tourist attraction. There is a saying: after Xiangfei died of depression, Emperor Qianlong sent a huge funeral procession, carrying Xiangfei's coffin back to her hometown.
