Located at the southwestern corner of the Tarim Basin ,
Kashgar is the westernmost town in China . To the north, west
and south are the lofty Tianshan Mountains and Kunlun Mountains
, its eastern side is connected weth undulating flat Tarim
Basin and Taklamkan Desert . By crossing the high mountain
passes in the west and south, merchants and envoys could go
to the Central Asian and the Mediterranean areas. Today, in
order to retrace the routes of our ancestors, tourists have
come in or out of China through these passes too. The Id kah
Mosque and the Abahoja Mausoleum are frequently visited by
tourists, and the largest free market in China Sunday Bazaar
is a highlight to tourists too. When you are strolling on
the several century old streets and the tinkling and jingling
handicraft-streets, you will see the things that you have
never seen before!
