In the bustling lanes of Kashi, a city steeped in history within the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, a café is stirring more than just coffee. Meet Dilxat Tursun and Diya, a couple whose love story transcends borders—literally. Dilxat, a Kashi local, and Diya, from Zanzibar, Tanzania, opened the Dili & Diya Café last year, blending African coffee beans with Xinjiang’s iconic tea traditions. 🫖✨
Their menu? Think cardamom-spiced lattes meet Uygur-style milk tea—a fusion that’s winning hearts (and taste buds) of travelers and locals alike. But this spot isn’t just about drinks. It’s a living testament to how cultures collide beautifully. As Kashi gains traction on travel bucket lists, the café has become a hub for wanderers craving connection. 🌏❤️
“Every cup tells our story,” says Dilxat. From Zanzibar’s shores to Xinjiang’s deserts, their journey proves that love—and good coffee—knows no boundaries. For globetrotters exploring China’s west, this café is a pit stop for warmth, flavor, and a dash of wanderlust magic. ✨
