Visit Aidijia Mosque, Princess Tomb and the famous Grand Bazaar (the busiest on Sundays), and there will be a song and dance performance in the hotel in the evening. Kashgar is a big city with first-class ethnic customs.

It's best to go to Kashgar on Friday morning, immediately go to Kashgar Border Protection Bureau to get a border card for t a County (Saturday and Sunday mornings are also acceptable), then go to the big service starting at 1:00 in the afternoon, visit ChristianRandPhillips's Tomb in the urban area on Saturday, go to Grand Bazaar at noon on Sunday, and see the fountain in front of the square at night. It's a 20-minute walk from Kashgar Transportation Hotel to Aitig Mosque, and it's closed during the day.

Aitig is one of the three major mosques in China, and it is called "Mai Jia". Every Friday afternoon 1:00 is the time for its big worship. At this time, every inch of land in the temple was occupied by devout men, and women were never allowed to enter. Usually there is no gender discrimination in temples, but female tourists can't dress too revealing. If you want to shoot scenes of Muslim worship, you must get permission from the temple.

Outside the temple is a big market. Although it is not as big as the Grand Bazaar, there are not many people, and it feels good. The bronzes in it are more like decorations than daily necessities. ChristianRandPhillips Tomb, also known as Apahoga Tomb, is located in Haohan Village, 5 kilometers northeast of Kashgar. There is no direct bus. Get off at the intersection and cross a small village. The folk customs of this small village are so simple that tourists are even allowed to visit. It's best to take pictures of them.

On Sunday, the Grand Bazaar (the east gate of Kashgar) gathered people from the whole Kashgar region, especially at noon 12:00. But because there are too many people and the weather is hot, tourists will be dizzy. You can walk all the way from your residence to the market. There are more and more people along the road, such as Bronze Street, Woodware Street, Mainantan and so on. There are also livestock markets, cloth markets, knife markets and so on in Bazzarri. It is often difficult to feel the atmosphere just by looking at it. Tourists often buy several Xinjiang knives (the best one made by Yengisar) as souvenirs, but remember to bargain hard. Otherwise, you will find it absolutely expensive. You can sharpen the knife at the price of 0.50 yuan/handful in the knife market. The copper plates and shawls here are very ethnic, but they are expensive. There is a music fountain in front of the square at eight o'clock on Sunday evening, where many Uighurs splash water for fun. This is definitely a luxury for a place so short of water, but the joyful atmosphere at the scene is simple enough to touch everyone present.
