Kashgar Museum Visitor Guide
The Past and Present of Kashgar
The Kashgar Museum clearly explains the multiple identities of this oasis city: the relay station system of the ancient Silk Road, the urban memory of Shule during the Qing Dynasty, and the collection of multi-ethnic folk customs. Spend an hour here before going to the old town, and then every alley will become more meaningful.
