Kashgar Old City

Unclaimed

Beautiful place to explore in Kashgar. The view is good from atop is fabulous and every turns and corners within the labyrinth of the old town reveals different stories and histories of the place. However, security is rather tight which can be a pain.

Kashgar is an amazing place still despite all the work that has been done in changing the city's shape. The Uyghur vibe is still alive and it feels like a breath of fresh air in the desert! The colours, the mood, the food, everything is beautiful here!

Kashgar Old City - Where the Soul of Kashgar Lies I Love this place. The Ancient City of Kashgar is classified as an AAAAA site, which means it's one of China's best places to visit. The Ministry of Culture and Tourism Kashgar Old City (喀什老城), or Kashgar Ancient City, is located in the center of Kashgar, covering an area of 4.25 square kilometers, with about 126800 residents. Presenting a vivid picture of Xinjiang Uygur folk customs, it is said that the soul of Kashgar lies in Kashgar Old City. It represents the ancient past and peaceful present of the city. The ancient city of Kashgar, formerly known as Shule, has a history of more than 2000 years. Local residences and shops line along the crisscross streets, forming the only labyrinth-like urban blocks characterized in Islamic culture in China. Now it is a AAAAA tourist site and a must-see in Kashgar. Wandering Through the Crisscross Lanes & Immersing in Local Atmosphere Kashgar Old City is about 2 km in length and width with many streets and alleys you can walk at will. Most of the buildings in the old city have been renovated but the local features have been retained. The colorful walls, round arches, beautifully designed door and windows offer perfect background for your picture. In addition to the architecture, many characteristic shops on the streets are also worth a visit. Almost every street in the old city has its own theme, which is called bazaars (means “market” in Uygur). There is Cantuman Bazaar (Blacksmith Street), Dopa Bazaar (Flower & Hat Street), Flowerpot Bazaar, Handicraft Bazaar, Pottery Bazaar, etc. There are also vendors of special snacks such as grapes, Nang (staple food of the Uygur and Kazak nationalities), and goat milk ice cream that you can have a try when shopping. Some residences are available to visit. You can see what it is like inside the typical local house but usually you need to buy some products sold there. In the streets of the old city, the elderly people are basking in the sun and the children are playing around, which makes people unconsciously want to stay and linger a little longer.
