Kashgar Old Town|A Millennium Heartbeat of the Western Regions, Accidentally Stepping into the Movie "The Kite Runner"

🏰 Reasons to Visit: A living thousand-year-old ancient city! The pinnacle of Central Asian style! Every shot looks like a scene from "The Kite Runner"! Even the wall tiles tell stories~ 📍Address: No. 140 Jiefang North Road, Kashgar City, Kashgar Prefecture ⏰Opening Hours: 24-hour immersive experience 🚶‍♂️Citywalk Golden Route: 1️⃣ Id Kah Mosque Square The morning prayer scene is soul-stirring! The golden dome shines under the sun like an illustration from "One Thousand and One Nights" 📸Photo spot: Tea house terrace on the second floor on the west side of the square, capturing the full view of the mosque and the bustling market life together 2️⃣ Artisan Bazaar Street The clinking of copper hides generations of craftsmen! Watching Uyghur grandpas hammer copper is like a live intangible cultural heritage performance 💡Tips: The light and shadow are most beautiful from 3 to 5 pm, and the copper reflections create magical light spots on the ground 3️⃣ Sky Garden Maze Alley Suddenly turn a corner and meet a blue archway! Uyghur children will actively lead you to popular photo spots 🍈Easter egg: The cantaloupe sold by the grandpa at the alley entrance is sweeter than first love, 2 yuan for a big slice 4️⃣ Century-old Teahouse Order a pot of rose tea on the second-floor terrace and watch the elderly men dancing the Meshrep in the square below, more energetic than the young 🕺Hidden activity: Most lively on Thursday and Sunday afternoons, you can join the dance group 📸Must-shoot iconic scenes: 1. End of Rainbow Alley (navigate to "Rainbow Alley Homestay") 2. Blue porch in Bagqi Alley (the light passing through the doorway at 4 pm is stunning) 🍢Taste of Kashgar: ▪️ Aini Pure Lamb BBQ: The Nang pit meat at the west gate of the ancient city bursts with juice! ▪️ Yizihaer Eggplant Noodles: A sour and spicy Western region flavor ▪️ Old Ice Mountain Creamy Ice Cream: Traditional Uyghur method, the creamy flavor is so rich it sticks to your lips ✨True feelings: Every brick in Kashgar Old Town feels like a breathing history book, the smile of the Nang seller is warmer than the sunshine, suddenly understanding what "life is worth living" means~
