Xinjiang, China
Ka Shi
Ancient Silk Road Crossroads
Kashgar is where the Han world ends and Central Asia begins. The Sunday Livestock Market has operated for over 2,000 years. Mud-brick old town alleys spiral toward the fragrant Id Kah Mosque, and the lamb kebabs, polo rice pilaf, and naan baked in clay ovens here taste unlike anything else in China.
