Day
06 Free day in Kashgar.
The old city, once known as Kashi, is an exotic Central Asian
trading oasis unrivalled anywhere in the Chinese and Soviet Empires.
Despite its situation between the awesome physical barriers of
the Tien Shen, Pamir and Karakoram Mountain ranges, this town
was the meeting point of at least four of the main Silk Road arteries.
Over the years, the collision of cultures between the Pakistani's,
Kirghiz, Soviet and Chinese has helped Kashgar to flourish. Even
today, a stroll around one of Kashgar's numerous bazaars will
take you back in time, as you mix with the throngs of traders
and their livestock. Muslim Uighurs, who account for 90 percent
of Kashgar's population, are the dominant ethnic group that you
will encounter in Kashgar's thriving town centre. At the same
time, the Chinese continue their efforts to change Kashgar into
a modern town with an airport, ring road and numerous bars and
nightclubs. To spend a day in Kashgar is a not only a delight
but a wonderful insight into the color ful way of life of the
peoples of Central Asia. Altitude at Kashgar: 1205 metres.
