A vibrant city on ancient Silk Road -- Kashgar in the eyes of foreign tourists

China Daily  

The ancient city of Kashgar, which has a permanent resident population of around 200,000 and is located in Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, has greeted over 7 million tourists so far this year. Booming tourism, better infrastructure As the night closes in, streetlights flicker on, and Kashgar becomes even more alive with tourists joyously exploring a city with a history of more than 2,000 years. "The people in the ancient city of Kashgar are very welcoming, while the food here is the best I've ever eaten east of Florence. "Kashgar creates a fun and romantic atmosphere, and we can find Central Asian cuisine, but also food from other parts of China, which you probably can't experience in Shanghai or Beijing," said Robert Zagorski, who comes from Poland and arrived in Kashgar with another motorcycle fleet.
