Kashgar

The westernmost major city in China, Kashgar sits at the point where trade routes from Central Asia, South Asia, and East Asia historically converged on the Silk Road. The Id Kah Mosque, one of the largest mosques in China, anchors a traditional Uyghur quarter of mud-brick lanes, copper bazaars, and craft workshops. The Sunday livestock market on the city's edge draws traders from across the region.
