About
As a 5A‑level scenic spot located in central Kashgar, Ancient City of Kashgar is one of the best‑preserved traditional Uyghur residential settlements in China. It consists of countless criss‑crossing earthen alleys, handicraft workshops, teahouses and lively bazaars. Local residents still live and work inside the old town, creating a genuine living museum of ethnic customs that carries profound history and vibrant everyday Silk‑Road atmosphere.
