Situated
at the foot of the impressive Pamir mountains, Kashgar was once the
key trading post bridging the East and the West. Largely inhabited
by the Uygurs, this ancient city is dotted with Muslin architecture
and still retains the exotic feel of the Silk Road era. We will visit
Kashgar's lively markets, which attract thousands of people from the
far corners of the region. They come here to sell, bargain, and trade
everything ranging from camels to raisins. Our sightseeing tour will
also include the Id Kha Mosque and the tomb of Abjak Hoja. Our tour
includes the tombs of Abakh Hoja, the famous Eidgah Mosque and the
most unique old town with typical Uyghur styled homes. We visit the
various shopping alleys full of noodle shops, bakeries, teashops,
blacksmiths and carpenters. Time has stood still - try a local taxi,
which is a donkey cart. |
