For at least two millenniums, Kashgar was one of the most prosperous market cities on what eventually became known as the Silk Road. Caravans of camels sometimes stretching for miles made their way through its walls, carrying silk or spices, silver and gold between East and West.
Separated from Pakistan by the Karakoram mountain range, whose 15,500-foot Khunjerab Pass is the world’s highest paved border crossing, this area was also one of Islam’s main points of entry into China. Ever traditionalist, conservative Kashgar remains perhaps the most important Islamic center for Chinese Muslims today.
