The next day, wake up with the sun rising. Go through the underground crossing passage on Jiefang North Road, enter Ordasik Road, walk forward, and look at a stall selling naan on the opposite side. There is a sign of "Kashgar Old City Scenic Area" at the entrance of the alley, and walk in. If you are afraid of getting lost, you can pay attention to the bricks under your feet. The hexagons represent that you can walk, and the bars represent a dead end in front of you, but why should you be trapped by a few bricks. you can
You can visit the bronze workshop and the Edellais silk workshop. Continue south and turn onto Chasa Road at the intersection. Turn right at the forked road ahead, and within a few steps, the smell of various spices wafts in the air. This is a local specialty bazaar, and further ahead is the hat bazaar. Don't stop shopping, come back and walk along the Agia Road, after a slightly boring road, cross the intersection, here is Kantuman Bazaar, which is the iron market. Slow down here, the exquisite brick and wood carvings of the surrounding houses are worth stopping to appreciate. After walking out of Agia Road, there is Youth Square. You can see the local Uighur singing and dancing under the gate tower of the old city of Kashgar.
In the old city, Uighur women hide their beauty behind veils, letting their mermaid skirts sway to show off their amorous feelings. There are always a few squatting old men in the corner of the wall under the sun, stroking their white beards from time to time, revealing a sense of peace washed away by the years.
Travelers who come here never rush to the scenic spots in a hurry. They are content to wander around the old city every day, lazily and comfortably idle themselves in this city, looking for the "Arabian Nights" in everyone's heart. .
The scene in Kabul in the movie "The Kite Runner" was filmed in the high-rise residential buildings, which are currently being demolished, and tourists are not allowed to enter. You can only take some pictures outside.
On the way back, I bought a glass of pomegranate juice (10) at the market, probably because I ate less in the morning. It was so sweet that I was a little nauseous and vomited. I went to the street near my residence and ate a dish of "jar meat" (20). There was a fat lamb chop and a few slices of sweet potatoes inside. I tore up the naan and put it in to soak it slowly. A native of Shandong at the next table looked at me with suddenly enlightened eyes and extended his thumb. It turned out that he had finished the soup first, and now he was struggling to eat the hard naan.
I bought tickets to enter the Id Kah Temple (45), and I was a little disappointed. All its beauty is displayed in the architectural example of Arabic Islamic gatehouse. The design of the gatehouse is solemn and simple, made of yellow bricks, with asymmetrical 18-meter-high minarets on both sides. Entering the gate, there is a 20-acre courtyard surrounded by pools, luxuriant trees, quiet and quiet, with teaching halls on the north and south sides. The deepest part of the courtyard is the worship hall, which is built on a platform more than one meter above the ground. The inner and outer halls have green columns arranged in a grid pattern, and the layout is reasonable. The wooden caisson paintings and reliefs all reflect exquisite craftsmanship. . There are two most precious huge carpets on the walls of the hall. Remember to take off your shoes when entering the worship hall.
I sat on the stone chair in the garden, feeling the coolness from time to time. Under the scorching sun, this place is really a shady place, a good place to escape the heat.
