Visiting Kashgar for tourism, it is generally appropriate to arrange for 5 to 10 days.
Kashgar is rich in natural landscapes and human history, requiring sufficient time for in-depth experience and exploration. For example, Kashgar Old City requires at least 2-3 days for a tour. The eastern part of the city is highly commercialized and suitable for those who enjoy lively atmospheres and shopping; while the western part is more suitable for those who prefer quiet and exploration, allowing one to slowly tour and experience local life.
. In addition, attractions such as Baisha Lake, Panlong Ancient Road, and Hongqilafu Border Gate in Tajik Autonomous County are also worth exploring for 1-2 days.
. If you also want to experience Kashgar’s cuisine, such as stir-fried chicken with potatoes,缸子肉 (a type of meat dish cooked in a缸子, a traditional utensil), and fried rice noodles, additional time will be needed.
Therefore, considering the time needed for sightseeing, food experiences, and rest and adjustment, an itinerary of 5 to 10 days will allow you to more comprehensively feel the charm of Kashgar.
. Of course, the specific schedule can also be adjusted according to personal interests and actual circumstances.
