I woke up early in the morning on October 10th to buy Kashgar's most famous baked buns from Brothers. I waited from 8:30, and I didn't expect the first pot to come out at 10:30, but the taste was really good.

After breakfast, go straight to the Gaotai folk house, Kashgar Gaotai folk house, a Uighur ethnic settlement built on a high loess cliff with a height of more than 40 meters and a length of more than 800 meters at the northeast end of the old city of Kashgar, Xinjiang. It has a history of 600 years. It is a major landscape in Kashgar to display the ancient Uyghur residential buildings and folk customs. , the Uighurs here have lived together for generations, and the houses are built on the cliffs. When the family population increases by one generation, they will add a floor to the ancestors' houses. It's a pity that the dwellings have been dilapidated, and no one lives there now. I found a local to take us in and take a small tour to appreciate the style of the Gaotai dwellings.

After visiting the ancient city, it was still early. Although I was a little tired, I decided to go to the Xiangfei Garden. This is a typical Islamic ancient building complex and the mausoleum of the holy descendants of Islam, covering an area of 2 hectares. According to legend, among the descendants of Huojia buried here, there is a woman named Ipal Khan, who is the concubine of Emperor Qianlong. Because she has a common fragrance of sandy dates on her body, people call her "Xiangfei". Therefore, people call this mausoleum "Xiangfei Tomb". However, according to textual research, Concubine Xiang was not buried here, and her exact burial place was in the Yufei Garden of the Eastern Tomb of the Qing Dynasty in Zunhua, Hebei.

The mausoleum was built around 1640. It is said that 72 people from five generations of the same family were buried in the tomb. It got its name because Apakhoja, the famous Islamic "Yizen School" master in Kashgar in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties was buried there. Apa Khoga is the second generation in the tomb, who once won the hereditary power of the Yarkand Dynasty. Later generations called this tomb "Apak Khoga Tomb".
The main tomb is in the east of the cemetery, and it is the main building of the whole complex. The roof of the main tomb is circular, and the diameter of the round arch is 17 meters. There are no beams and columns. Colored ceramic tiles look extraordinarily magnificent and solemn.

The Lecture Hall is the earliest building in the Fragrant Concubine Garden, where Yusuf Hoja and Apak Hoja lectured. It is composed of two parts, inside and outside. In winter, scriptures are taught in the inner hall, and in summer, scriptures are taught in the outer hall. In the center of the room there is an oval "holy stone" about 30cm long, which is said to have the function of dispelling diseases and exorcising evil spirits.

After visiting four scenic spots in one day, I was really a little tired. Fortunately, it is not far from the hotel. I went back to the hotel to have a rest and dinner.
