Meeting Kashgar, meeting you

People often say, 'If you haven't been to Kashgar, you haven't been to Xinjiang.' Once you go to Kashgar, you will find that going to Kashgar is like traveling through several exotic countries. In the old city of Kashgar, there is always a sense of time and space dislocation, as if it has been traced back to the ancient Middle Ages from the modern. The thick walls block the outside noise, and the millennium time is frozen here. The winding hometown is like a time tunnel connecting the past. How to play in Kashgar!! Kashgar Ancient City: With the Aitigaer Mosque as the core, it is distributed on both sides of the east and west of Jiefang North Road. The ancient city is the home of the pure Uighur compatriots for thousands of years. With several pedestrian streets as the main, winding alleys are scattered among them Gaotai Residential: In the northeast end of the old city of Kashgar, it is a Uighur residential area built on a loess cliff more than 40 meters high and more than 800 meters long.
