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!
