My 29 days to Southern Xinjiang, Gansu & Shaanxi, China (Aug 27 > Sept 24 2025) Day 15 Kashi (Kashgar), Xinjiang D-4

Kashi Museum, Xinjiang

Kun Lun Tower by Night, Kashgar 
Kashi Ancient City by Night 

Wednesday Day 15 Sept 10 2025 (Kashgar, Xinjiang Day 4) - not a great start for my Day 4 in Kashgar as both of us missed boarding our day tour bus departing 15 minutes earlier ie 07.55 instead of 08.30 as advised a day before (due probably to mis-communication). But after paying an extra Y$104, the travel agent has reserved 2 seats for us for our tomorrow day trip ! So we made full use of our available time today & visited the Kashi Museum & the Kashi Old City & the surrounding ! In the evening, we took a leisure walk around the Kashi Old City seeing the best of the old city by night when all the scenic spots were lighted up making the place full of vibes & vibrant ! 

1) Hotel buffet breakfast in Qinivake International Hotel, Kashgar, Xinjiang


2) Tian Yuan Business Hotel, Kashi - the pick-up point for our day tour (Y$190) bus to Baisha Mountain / Lake - a bad start this morning, we missed the bus meet-up time of 07.55 (departing earlier instead of 08.30 due to mis-communication) resulting in each of us has to pay an extra Y$104 so that we could join back the day tour on the following day ! 


3) Mao's Statute, opposite the People's Square, Kashgar, Xinjiang - a brief visit ! 


4) People's Square, Kashgar, Xinjiang
