Ten taboos in Kashgar

Ten taboos in Kashgar are: don't ask others about their religious beliefs in public, don't stare at others, don't step on the tablecloth, don't splash water on it, don't spit everywhere, don't point fingers at people, don't take pictures, don't look around, don't make a loud noise, and don't give children food casually.

1, don't ask their religious beliefs in public.

Kashgar is inhabited by ethnic minorities, so we should respect the customs and habits of local ethnic minorities. When talking with local minority residents, try not to ask about their religious beliefs in public, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstanding.

2. Don't stare at others

Be careful not to stare at people while traveling. Local residents think it will bring misfortune.

Don't step on the tablecloth.

People in Xinjiang are very particular about hospitality and manners. Locals are forbidden to trample on or directly cross the tablecloth. When visiting local people's homes, we must pay attention to these taboos.

You can't spill water on your hands.

Wash your hands before and after meals. Never shake hands. Be sure to clean it with a towel.

5. No spitting.

Please respect natural resources, and don't defecate anywhere by the river or lake. It is forbidden to urinate, spit or carry dirty things anywhere in Mazar, cemeteries, mosques, water sources and kitchens.

6. Don't point at people.

When taking pictures, please pay special attention to whether others want to be photographed. If the photographer doesn't allow it, please stop shooting immediately.

7. It is forbidden to take pictures.

Enter the mosque and do as the Romans do. No shooting. You can only shoot if you indicate that you can take pictures. You should wear the clothes stipulated by the temple. Ladies should not wear shorts, but headscarves.

8. Don't just look.

In monasteries, streets and roads, devout believers will spread out blankets at any time to worship in the west. If they meet, don't watch, don't step on the blanket, don't walk in front of the worshippers, and don't point fingers to avoid causing dissatisfaction.

9, it is forbidden to talk loudly.

Don't make any noise when visiting the temple. You must pay attention to the precautions explained by the guide. When you don't understand the need to ask, you'd better ask the tour guide quietly to avoid improper words.

10, don't give the children food casually.

If you meet lovely children or simple villagers along the way in Hotan, if you want to take a photo with them, you can ask them politely. Generally, they won't refuse, but you should never give them food, fruit or packaged drinks or juice casually.
