Visiting Kashgar Old City, you really don't need to deliberately search for photo spots

Before coming to Kashgar, I browsed countless travel guides thinking the old city would be enormous, photo spots hard to find, Kunlun Tower requiring telephoto lenses, and popular angles having long queues~~ 
Set aside ample time for Kashgar. Stay within the old city to experience the purity and hospitality of Kashgar people - mulberries casually picked from roadside trees, locals inviting you to share their harvest, students playing after school in every alley, and lanes decorated with hanging objects of all kinds~~
You don't need to bring many clothes or bags. Here you can choose fabric and get custom clothing for under ¥100, buy an Atlas silk bag for ¥20, or get a cowboy hat for just ¥6~
This city where every step reveals exotic scenery and the sun never seems to set will truly amaze you~
