2006 - 2026 © All Right Reserved www.xinjiangtravel.org
People may hear Kashgar being titled as "an important trade and cultural city on Silk Road". "a South Gate to neighbors Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Pakistan, and Afghanistan," "without Kashgar without Xinjiang," and "an alive recorder of Xinjiang's history," etc. By whatever praised, Kashgar is just more than words to describe.
Located in the abdomen of Central Asia, Kashgar belongs to a warm continental arid climate zone with four distinct seasons. Summer is hot with abundant sunshine. The sun loves Xinjiang so much that it doesn't want to leave until 10 pm in summer. Winter is not cold but comfortable for outdoor activities. Golden Autumn shows us the best side of smoked yellow and avocado red.
Historical Significants
Kashgar is one of the oldest cities in China, with a history dating back over 2,000 years. It was a vital hub along the Ancient Silk Road, connecting China with Central Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. Explore the well-preserved Kashgar Old Town, visit historical sites like the IdKah Mosque and the Abakh Hoja Tomb, and immerse yourself in the city's fascinating past.
Cultural Diversity
Kashgar is home to a diverse mix of ethnic groups, with a strong Uyghur influence. Experience the unique culture, traditions, and cuisine of the Uyghur people, known for their vibrant music, dance, and craftsmanship. Explore the bustling markets, sample local delicacies like Uyghur kebabs and hand-pulled noodles, and witness traditional performances and celebrations.
Architectural Marvels
Marvel at the distinctive architecture of Kashgar, characterized by traditional Uyghur homes, mud-brick buildings, and ornate mosques. Visit the iconic Apak Hoja Mausoleum, the picturesque Afaq Khoja Mausoleum, and the historic Kashgar Old Town, where you can wander through narrow alleyways and admire traditional courtyard houses.
Natural Beauty
Surrounding Kashgar are breathtaking natural landscapes that offer opportunities for outdoor adventures and exploration. Visit Karakul Lake, a stunning alpine lake nestled in the Pamir Mountains, or hike through the Taxkorgan Grasslands for panoramic views of rolling hills and grazing yaks. The rugged beauty of the Xinjiang region is sure to captivate nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.
Indulge in the delicious flavors of Uyghur cuisine while in Kashgar. Sample local specialties such as polo (pilaf), laghman (hand-pulled noodles), samsa (meat pies), and Uyghur bread. Visit the bustling Grand Bazaar to taste a variety of street food, dried fruits, nuts, and spices, and savor the unique blend of Central Asian and Chinese flavors.
Colorful Markets
Explore the lively markets of Kashgar, where you can shop for traditional handicrafts, textiles, carpets, and souvenirs. Visit the Sunday Market, one of the largest and most vibrant markets in Central Asia, where you can browse a wide array of goods, interact with local vendors, and experience the hustle and bustle of daily life in Kashgar.
Idkah Mosque, a courtyard-style temple.
The main body is goose yellow, which looks warm and inviting. Next to the gatehouse are two minarets in soft-curved shape with Islamic crescent moons on each tower's top. The inside decorations are spectacular. The roofs are supported by 158 light blue pillars in a grid shape. The ceiling and the four corners of the wooden pillars have exquisite wood carvings and colorful bath well patterns. They are a symbol of peace and the universe.
The town has been commercialized in order to attract tourists, but people still love to visit it with great passion. Its biggest draw is the well-preserved and adored residential complex - the largest in the world - which showcases a long history and epitomizes Uyghur culture.
The town is also vibrant and full of life. Whether you stroll through the streets or enjoy a cup of tea in the hundred-year-old Tea house, you can't help but fall in love with the place, with its light orange color and intricate layouts. It feels like nothing has changed here, yet everything has. To me, the Old Town is like an elderly man - wise and peaceful, yet possessing the strong chest muscles of a Spartan warrior and a fearless spirit. It stirs my soul and sparks my imagination.
I'd rather call it a magnificent palace with Islamic ancient architecture styles of domes and crescent moons on the top. Outside walls are all veneered with dark green glazed bricks from top to bottom and occasionally with colorful pictures and Arabic Quran epigrams.
These glazed bricks were made more than 300 years ago but are still beautiful and shining today.
Held every Sunday on the outskirts of Kashgar, this bustling market is a Must-visit for travelers looking to immerse themselves in the local culture. You can find a wide range of goods, from livestock and produce to clothing and household items.
Whether in the Sunday Bazaar or the Grand Bazaar, Uyghur business people are good at trading.
Pamir -- "Roof of the World"
The Pamir are renowned for their stunning beauty, with snow-capped peaks, deep valleys, and crystal-clear lakes creating a breathtaking backdrop for adventurers and nature enthusiasts.
Trekking, mountaineering, and wildlife watching are popular activities in the Pamirs, offering visitors a chance to explore this pristine and awe-inspiring region.
The lake is a deep, dark blue and quite spooky. It is located about 160km away from Aktao county, at an elevation of 3600m above sea level, and covers an area of 10km. The presence of Gongge Peak, Gongger Jiubie Peak, and Mustage Peak around the lake makes the area very picturesque, with mountains and the lake coexisting in a stunning manner. The Silver mountains and Blue Lake create an intoxicating scene, adding a touch of romance to the majestic Pamirs.
A town located near the border with Pakistan and Tajikistan, Tashkurgan is known for its ancient stone fortress, cultural heritage, and stunning mountain scenery.
You can explore the town's historic sites and interact with the local Tajik community. The Tajik like the European white people in China are so special and unique.
The Best Time to tour Kashgar is in August-October. At this time, the sun isn't so scorching as in summer and sets us free to go outside. August fruits and September breeze make everything possible.
The average temperature ranges from 15℃ ~ 31℃(59 ℉~ 87.9℉), you can travel there with a mild climate.

Additionally, as for night, it is recommended to wear warm clothes such as suits, jackets, trench coats, casual wear, blazers, and thin sweaters.
To those who love sunshine and make trips in Summer(May to July) is also a good choice. Kashgar's summer is always hilarious, like its red color, with the average temperature ranges from 15℃ ~ 34℃(59℉ ~ 93.2℉）. You might burn the passion for experiencing "lonely smoke straight in the desert, long river, and a round sunset" somewhere in the desert of Kashgar.
