Kashgar
city is a typical Uygur city, it is located in the Southwest part
of Xinjiang and it used to be one of the most important town on
the Ancient Silk road and Maco Polo Route as well. You can¡¯t image
what you see when you walk into the famous Sunday Bazaar, this
is the only place in the world where you could see the long history
handcraft which was des-cribed vividly by Marco Polo in his Diary
! This is the very place where could make you wrong feeling -
as if you were walking back to hundr-eds of years ! As you know,
there are several very huge peaks lying on the west Kun Lun mountains,
in the east Chinese Pamir. They are Mt.Kongur (7911m) which is
the highest peak in Kunlun Mountains, and an other one is Mt Mustagh
Ata (7546 m), which means ¡° The Great Father of the Ice ¡± .When
you get up there in the early morning, please seize the moment
to take some pictures of the real nature landscapes. Warn sunshine
comes to the snow covered peaks. The yurts are everywhere, gentle
sheep, horse yarks are eating quietly, young ladies are as singing
as cooking, boys and girls are running and chasing ¡ What a peaceful
world it is !

shish kebobs, shaves with a straight razor (including scalp),
