The distance always attracts the footsteps of explorers, and the frontier of the motherland is the yearning of many travelers.
Kashgar, the westernmost city of the motherland, comes here to experience different exotic customs and experience the unique southern Xinjiang culture.
When you come to Kashgar, the most worth visiting is the ancient city of Kashgar. This is a free and open 5A-level scenic spot, and people in the old city are living normally. Coming to the ancient city of Kashgar means stepping into the most authentic life with the local customs of Xinjiang. The whole city retains its original style, and the brick-and-earth structure houses present a unique combination of pink and yellow colors of the local style.
The outskirts of the ancient city are full of shops, where people play Rewapu and Tambora, sell jade, copperware, and woolen blankets, drink milk tea as guests at Guli’s house, and eat baked buns, hand-pilafed rice, jars of mutton soup, and baked goods on the street. Eggs, noodles... I was instantly moved by the folk customs here.
There are many alleys in the ancient city, and when you walk in, you will find people in Kashgar. You are here, as if you can see the most simple essence of life. People live unhurriedly, and every smile is full of kindness. The core of the traditional folk culture in Kashgar is the ancient city. The ancient city is worth visiting repeatedly. It has different customs during the day and night. If you want to truly feel the life of Kashgar, you should come to the ancient city more often.
In the evening, you can come to the ancient city to visit the night market. There are more snacks at night, food stalls and restaurants are on both sides of the road, each of which is busy with a lot of tourists.
The ancient city is full of cultural customs, and outside the ancient city is the Id Kah Mosque, one of the largest mosques in China. You can also take a shuttle bus in the ancient city to Xiangfei Garden and walk into the story of Xiangfei Princess.
It is most convenient to live near the ancient city. It is very convenient to go shopping, go to the mosque, or go to the supermarket, and the transportation is also convenient. I stayed at the Orange Hotel, which is near the ancient city, only 2.5 kilometers away. The hotel is also very close to the airport, only a 20-minute drive away.
This Orange Hotel was newly opened in May this year. It is the first fully intelligent hotel in Kashgar, and the rooms can be controlled by voice. To control curtains, TVs, lights, air conditioners, etc., you only need to speak clearly, and the intelligent system can help you easily complete the instructions. The hotel also has a robot employee, which can welcome guests and deliver things to guests. For example, after the takeaway ordered by the guest arrives at the hotel, the staff can give the takeaway to the robot and let it be delivered to the guest's room.
The California sunshine room is the main room type of the hotel. There are long tables and sofas in the room. It is spacious and very convenient to use. The view room is the most beautiful, with a semi-circular balcony and floor-to-ceiling windows that make the whole room more sunny. There are double sofas and coffee tables here, whether drinking tea and reading alone or chatting with others here, it is a pleasant thing.
In the morning, eat an energetic breakfast. The dishes are mainly Chinese, and the wontons and Yangchun noodles are freshly cooked to meet the taste needs of Han customers. Xinjiang large plate chicken and hand pilaf are enough to make guests feel the local characteristics. Eating big plate chicken, eating pilaf, and drinking Xinjiang yogurt is the breakfast life of many Xinjiang people. If you have breakfast like this, you will also feel like a local.
There is a gym next to the restaurant, where you can watch sports events while exercising. Whether you are relaxing in the hotel or going out to visit the ancient city of Kashgar, you will enjoy a leisurely time in Kashgar.
