Kashgar | A Thousand Years at a Glance, Fall into a Magical Wonderland of the Western Regions

| A thousand years at a glance, fall into a magical wonderland of the Western Regions. 🏯You must visit this living fossil of an ancient Western Regions city! Weathered city walls bear the traces of a thousand years of wind and frost🌪, while the aroma of baked buns wafts through the bazaar🍞. Here's a step-by-step guide to unlocking the soul of Kashgar's Old City👇 ➡Day 1: First Impressions of the Old City, Experiencing History and Culture Id Kah Mosque: The landmark building of Kashgar's Old City and the largest mosque in Xinjiang! The morning sunlight on the white stone walls makes for amazing photos📸. Remember to order a pot of Uyghur tea at a nearby teahouse and experience the local slow-paced life. East Gate Entry Ceremony: There are two entry ceremonies daily at 10:30 and 18:00, full of ritualistic charm! It's recommended to arrive 10 minutes early to secure the best viewing spot. Flower Pot Bazaar & Handicraft Street: Here you can experience pottery making and watch artisans crafting flower hats, copperware, and more. Buy a small flower hat and wear it for some atmospheric photos! ➡Day 2: A Fusion of Food and Handicrafts Kashgar Grand Bazaar: A foodie's paradise! Lamb skewers, baked buns, hand-pulled rice, pomegranate juice… every bite is an authentic Uyghur flavor! We recommend "Ailijiang Brothers Baked Buns" and "Old Ice Mountain Creamery" for affordable and delicious treats. Handicraft Experience: In the afternoon, participate in a pottery or carpet-making experience and create a unique souvenir with your own hands – a truly meaningful activity! Century-Old Teahouse: In the evening, visit a century-old teahouse, order a pot of tea, watch the locals perform the Meshrep, and immerse yourself in the rich ethnic customs. ➡Day 3: The Intermingling of Nature and Humanity Old City Residential Houses: The ancient residential houses on the east side of the Old City, with their mud houses and over-street buildings, are incredibly unique and offer great photo opportunities. Pamir Plateau Day Trip: If time permits, charter a car to the Pamir Plateau to see Muztagh Ata and Karakul Lake, and experience the magnificence of nature! ⚠Precautions: 🌞The climate is dry with strong UV rays, so please bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and other sun protection. 🏔The Pamir Plateau has a high altitude, so please take precautions against altitude sickness in advance. 🕌Respect local religious beliefs and customs. 💰Be mindful of prices and avoid being overcharged.
