🎥 Ready to time-travel through cobblestone alleys? A Chinese saying claims ‘you haven’t truly visited Xinjiang until you’ve wandered Kashgar’ – and this ancient Silk Road gem proves why.
🏰 Kashgar’s walled old town, nicknamed the ‘soul of the city’, pulses with Uygur culture. We’re talking vibrant bazaars smelling of cumin and baked naan, carved wooden doorways framing laughing kids, and artisans hammering copperware like their ancestors did centuries ago.
🌺 CGTN’s new immersive tour lets you virtually explore narrow lanes where time slows down. Discover why this oasis in northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region remains a living museum of traditions – from intricate ikat textiles to hypnotic Muqam music performances.
👟 Pro traveler tip: The real magic? Chatting with grannies selling dried apricots or catching sunset glow on the iconic Id Kah Mosque. Authenticity level? 💯.
