Flew 5,000 km to Kashgar and hired a little guide

📍 "Kashgar Old Town" — Step into One Thousand and One Nights Stroll through maze-like alleys 🕌, rainbow-colored doors and windows, carved walls, and streets full of grapevines 🍇. Every corner brings a surprise! Recommended to come early morning when sunlight casts beautiful shadows on the earthen walls, perfect for photos straight out of the camera 📸! ✅ Must-shoot spots: Budai Alley, Rainbow Alley, Grandpa’s Grandpa’s Dad’s Naan 🥖 (don’t forget to buy the rose-flavored one!) 🌮 "Food Attack" — Taste the Western Region for 30 RMB per person Ailizati Pilaf Restaurant: Carrot pilaf + yogurt 🐏, so delicious you’ll lick the plate! Century-old Teahouse: A pot of rose milk tea with a nut platter 🌹, listen to Uyghur grandpas sing and play, instantly transported back in time! Night Market Grilled Baozi: 2 RMB each, thin skin and lots of filling, bursting with juice in one bite 💥 (Location: next to Id Kah Mosque) 🚗 "Itinerary Guide" — 4 days 3 nights with no regrets Day 1: Explore and shoot in the East District of the Old Town → Relax at the old teahouse → Night tour of Han Bazaar Night Market Day 2: Check in at the trendy alleys in the West District → Id Kah Mosque → Experience ethnic portrait photography 📿 (299 RMB including makeup and styling) Day 3: Private car tour to Baisar Lake & Muztagh Ata Peak 🏔️ (One-day tour about 400 RMB/person, breathtaking snowy mountains along the way) Day 4: Hunt for souvenirs on the handicraft street → Have one last bite of naan before heading back! 💡 "Useful Tips" ✈️ Transportation: Direct flight to Kashgar Airport (National Day tickets should be booked 2 weeks in advance, or transfer via Urumqi) 🏠 Accommodation: Stay in guesthouses around the Old Town, recommend "Wulan Guesthouse" with a terrace for stargazing 🌃 👗 Outfit: White/red long dress + straw hat + ethnic earrings, full exotic vibe! ⚠️ Note: Sunscreen! Dry climate! Face mask + SPF50 + carry with you! 🙌 "Random Thoughts" Compared to crowded popular cities, Kashgar’s prices and atmosphere are truly heartwarmingly friendly 😭 During National Day, there are ethnic song and dance performances and night market celebrations, just go for it! 🔍 Hashtags ✨ "Kashgar is a place you want to settle down once you arrive~" 💫 (Original text and photos, please get authorization for reposting)
