Kashgar Walking Tour
Kashgar, China
Why Walk Kashgar
Kashgar has been a trading crossroads for over 2,000 years, the point where the northern and southern branches of the Silk Road converged before crossing the Pamir Mountains. The city's culture is distinctly Uyghur — Turkic-speaking and predominantly Muslim — with mud-brick old town architecture, naan bread baked in tandoor ovens, and a Sunday livestock market that has operated for centuries.
