Xiangfei Garden Must-Visit Photo Spots Sharing

Come to Kashgar to experience exotic charm! This ancient city in Xinjiang hides so many surprises. In just 2 days, you can fully immerse yourself in the rich Uyghur culture and historical atmosphere~🌆

Recommended Itinerary:
Day 1📍Xiangfei Garden
Start your morning at Xiangfei Garden, the legendary hometown of Xiangfei. The architecture inside is full of Islamic style. It’s recommended to wear ethnic-style dresses for especially photogenic shots! The entrance fee is 45 RMB, and it’s open from 10:00 to 20:00. The singing and dancing performances inside are definitely worth watching (may be canceled in the off-season).

Day 2📍Kashgar Old Town
Sleep in and then head straight to Kashgar Old Town! Staying at the Licheng Hotel inside the old town is super convenient, allowing you to explore the entire old town on foot (small tip: choose a room above the 3rd floor for a panoramic view of the old town).

Must-Visit Spots:
- Id Kah Mosque: The largest mosque in Xinjiang, be sure to avoid prayer times.
- Century-Old Teahouse: Order a pot of brick tea with baked buns to experience local life.
- Handicraft Street: Various traditional Uyghur crafts are available for purchase.
- Night Market: Especially lively after 8 PM, with delicious grilled meat, naan, and baked buns.

Practical Tips:
1. There is a 2-hour time difference between Xinjiang and mainland China, so restaurant opening hours are later.
2. The old town has many small alleys; it’s recommended to download offline maps or remember landmarks.
3. Large temperature differences between morning and evening, remember to bring a jacket.
4. Respect local ethnic customs; avoid loud noises inside the mosque.

Food Recommendations:
- Blue Ram Grilled Meat: Outside the west gate of the old town, the lamb skewers are super fragrant.
- Alizati Pilaf: Pilaf served with yogurt is a must-try.
- Ancient Ice Mountain Ice Cream: A century-old shop, the original flavor is the classic choice.

Transportation:
Taxi from the airport to the old town costs about 30 RMB.
Walking is the most convenient way to explore the old town.
