Things to do in Kashi Airport
Kashgar is the ancient Silk Road hub at China's far western edge, where Central Asian culture and Uyghur heritage feel more present than Han Chinese influence. The Id Kah Mosque, Sunday Grand Bazaar, and the old city's mud-brick labyrinth are essential stops for layover visitors. Apricots, pomegranates, and hand-pulled laghman noodles make the food scene as memorable as the architecture.
