Overview of Kashgar Tourist Attractions
Kashgar, known as “The Pearl of the Silk Road”, has plenty to see, and most sights have a rich Uigur cultural flair. As a major stop along the Silk Road, Kashgar’s Grand Bazaar and Sunday Market are still huge affairs where it seems as if all of Central Asia has come to hawk their wares.
Others spots of more cultural and historic interest include the Id Kah Mosque and Id Kah Square, the geographic and religious center of Kashgar, the Tomb of Abakh Hoja (also known as the Tomb of Xiangfei), a magnificent Mosque-like complex as well as the Tomb of Mahmud Kashguri, a nice spot outside the city.
Last, the Karahuli Lake, 200km away from Kashgar, is a fantastic destination for a two or three-day-trip in the area. The lake is set against the backdrop of Mount Muztagatalt with its unbeatable mountain scenery steeped in legend.
