Kashgar in Xinjiang is a popular tourist destination during the National Day holiday, where tourists can experience rich cultural activities and natural scenery.?
During the National Day holiday, Kashgar’s tourism market is very hot, especially Kashgar Old Town, which, as a landmark tourist attraction in Xinjiang, attracts a large number of tourists. Tourists can watch the opening ceremony here and feel the grandeur of the old town and the weight of history. During the opening ceremony, the magnificent city gate slowly opens under the gaze of tourists, symbolizing hospitality and welcome to the outside world. Historical figures also ‘travel through time’ to welcome visitors from all directions at the entrance of Kashgar Old Town, providing tourists with a shocking experience.?
Besides Kashgar Old Town, tourists can also visit other attractions in Kashgar. For example, they can stroll through the Grand Bazaar to find rare treasures from all over the world; visit the 500-year-old Id Kah Mosque to feel the charm of religious culture; wander through the alleys to taste the daily life of Kashgar, encounter the elderly and children, and listen to their stories.?
. Furthermore, the eastern district of Kashgar is more commercialized and suitable for visiting the handicraft market at the Grand Bazaar after watching the opening ceremony. In the evening, tourists can go to the night market street and bar street to enjoy music and fine wine. The western district focuses on leisure and teahouses, with many popular attractions such as Rainbow Alley and the Century-old Teahouse, where tourists can experience the local lifestyle up close.?
During the National Day holiday, tourists can also choose to take an in-depth tour. For example, they can arrange a 5-day itinerary: arrive in Kashgar on the first day, visit Kashgar Old Town and Baishahu Lake on the second day, and then head to Taxkorgan County in the following days to visit beautiful attractions such as the Panlong Ancient Road, Bandir Lake, and Wakhan Corridor. Finally, return to Kashgar Old Town to end the pleasant journey.?
In addition, Kashgar’s cuisine is also a major highlight. Tourists can taste authentic local dishes such as big plate chicken, nang (a type of Uyghur bread) kebab, and baked buns. There are also abundant fruits such as watermelons and Hami melons, which will definitely satisfy the most demanding taste buds.?
It should be noted that Kashgar may have a large number of tourists during the National Day holiday. Tourists should plan their itinerary in advance and pay attention to carrying their identity documents, as a border defense pass is required for visiting border areas such as Taxkorgan County.?
. Meanwhile, due to the time difference between Xinjiang and the mainland, tourists also need to adjust their internal clocks.?
In general, Kashgar in Xinjiang provided a rich travel experience for tourists during the National Day holiday, whether it was historical culture, natural scenery, or culinary experiences, all of which made tourists reluctant to leave.?
