Xinjiang, located in northwest China, is swiftly becoming a must-visit destination for international travelers as “China Travel” gains global popularity. The region’s rich Silk Road heritage and breathtaking landscapes are drawing visitors from around the world.
Kashgar, a city where ancient history intertwines with modern life, leads the way in attracting tourists eager to experience its profound history, unique architecture, and delectable cuisine.
Once admired by Marco Polo over 750 years ago during his Silk Road journey, Kashgar’s historic markets have transformed into vibrant bazaars. The echoes of old caravan trails can still be felt in its winding alleyways, while traditional teahouses share stories of its storied past.
In Kashgar, heritage isn’t just preserved—it’s alive. Visitors can stroll through cobbled lanes, marvel at traditional buildings, and savor street food that captures flavors from centuries ago.
“I love Kashgar. I think more people should visit,” said Arlinda, a tourist from Albania. “My favorite foods have been the breads, the ‘nang’ breads, and also the noodles. They’re known for their wheat noodles here, so I recommend trying dishes of noodles. I would love to come and visit again, and I think other people should visit again.”
Beyond its sights and flavors, Xinjiang is welcoming foreign visitors with visa-free entry and new air routes. Urumqi, the region’s capital, now connects to 23 regions in 20 countries, including Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan, through 26 flight routes.
“This is my second trip to China. Everything is convenient, and the people are welcoming,” shared Sullidin, a tourist from Azerbaijan. “I also love the amazing food here. If I have any problem during my trip, it can be resolved quickly.”
As Xinjiang opens its doors wider to the world, it offers an unforgettable blend of history, culture, and hospitality that continues to captivate the hearts of travelers.
