Id Kah Mosque

Unclaimed

A good visit, although I prefer the main mosque in Xian for its overall architecture and color scheme. Great food nearby the mosque which is a central gathering place in Kashgar. In the far background, you see all lot of new developments and homes.

Currently Id Kah Mosque is used as a tourist place. Entry fee 30 RMB. Prayer not allowed inside and entry restricted in prayer time. Outside have open square and beside the mosque have so many shops and restaurant.

The mosque is beautiful and it's located within old Kashgar city. To enter as a visitor, you need to wait approximately 30 minutes for passport verification, and you need to buy tickets. As for prayers, we don't know much, when we visited it was not prayer time, and it was only open for tourism. Contrarily to what other reviews say, nothing suggests it's prohibited to pray, there's no sign clearly stating it, however we didn't hear any adhan during our stay in Kashgar/Kashi.
