During the journey, I have learned the "wonderful points" of cheap trains, such as poor closure, strong wind and sand, love to be late, and stop at every station. Fortunately, I met a young man from Dangxian in Huining, who is also considered half of the hometown. It is not easy to speak in a local accent fluently in this foreign place. When passing through Aksu, there are red mountains. I wonder if this is not far from Wensu Grand Canyon.
When we arrived at Kashgar Station, AutoNavi worked, and the navigation was quite accurate. After changing to two buses, we arrived near the Id Kah Mosque. But I am quite critical of the way it does not have a stop sign. When looking for the specific address of the Pashmir Youth Hostel, Gothe was confused again. Asking the locals was like going to a foreign country, and they all said they didn’t know the language. I finally found it by calling to confirm the building next to it.
This youth hostel has a bit of flavor, especially with a grapevine on the balcony and two swings. It is very convenient to stand on the balcony to see the scenery in the direction of the old city. What's more gratifying is that there is also ice-cold deadly Dawusu beer for sale.
After swiping the ID card, I went to the room. This time, it was okay, the lower berth, and the room has a bathroom, which is more upscale than the youth hostels in Turpan.
Kashgar is the Shule Kingdom among the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions. The Western Han Dynasty established the Protectorate of the Western Regions, bringing Shule under the rule of the Western Han Dynasty. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Shule was harassed by the Xiongnu, and Ban Chao led 36 warriors all the way westward to pacify Shule, where he managed the Western Regions for 17 years. The Tang Dynasty set up the Anxi Protectorate in the Western Regions, and Shule was one of the four Anxi towns. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Shule was replaced by the Turkic word "Kashgar".
It is said that "northern Xinjiang sees the scenery, and southern Xinjiang sees the style", and this style refers to Kashgar. She is a collection of Indian culture, Persian culture, Arabic culture, ancient Greek culture, ancient Roman culture and Central Plains culture, a fusion of Eastern and Western civilizations, with strong national characteristics. Kashgar has always seen the world. More than 2,000 years ago, it was already a metropolis east of Congling (now known as the Pamirs). Chinese and Western.
There is a "Bixibag Uyghur Food Shop" on Jiefang North Road near Hat Bazaar. The ancient jelly and special noodles there are very delicious, and the waiters are also very cheerful, humming the songs of the ethnic group to serve the food.
Stroll to Nuo Erbeixi Road, and then go forward, there is a small fruit market, where you can buy a pomegranate (1 kg 40), and then buy 10 yuan peaches (1 kg 12), all of which you want Say it in advance. Uighurs are quick to speak and speak quickly when selling things. If you look around and try and ask, but there is no result, they will be very angry.
Back at the youth hostel, all the people from all walks of life have returned. There was a lot of people in the hall. Someone who bought a big watermelon for 20 yuan was clamoring for a knife to cut it and distribute it to each table. I washed the peaches and put them on my table. I humbly asked the two ladies to help me. Let me solve the problem, otherwise it will not be delicious tomorrow. When I was in my hometown, I loved to eat peaches, but the ones over there were smaller and full of bugs, not as big and sweet as the ones here. That Shenzhen girl, seeing my sincerity, helped me eat two very generously. From time to time, a girl from Chongqing would come over in a hurry, with a hot smell of a mountain girl in her eyebrows and eyes, and she would swear a few swear words from time to time, but it was not annoying. Generously tore open a pack of three-yuan melon seeds, sprinkled a handful in front of each person, "It's free, open to eat." I just sat there quietly, listening to their stories about going to Egypt, India, and Nepal; listening to their stories about hiking and riding. In the youth hostel, there are two kinds of people that should not be underestimated, one is young girls, and the other is old comrades. The Shenzhen girl born in 1997 just came here by car from Ali, Tibet. She spent a month and a half in the Tibetan area, talking about the beauty of Gang Rinpoche and the starry sky in the dark night; Step to Nepal. Here, you can feel a different life, and slowly an ideal will take root and grow deep in your heart. It is here that I know that there is a Duku Highway that connects northern Xinjiang to southern Xinjiang and can see spring, summer, autumn and winter all year round in July, and I know the beauty of Bayinbulak and Nalati Grassland.
