:: Xinjiang Day 14 - 喀什 Kashgar

2007 Aug 04:
The big day was there.  We decided to extend our trip for one day just because we wanted to spend more time in 喀什.  So here it was.
We first went to the Tomb of Abac Hoja 香妃墓 though we did not purchase the entrance ticket so we did not enter.  Instead, we went to the have a walk in the nearby neighborhood and shoot some pictures.  Then we went to the 大巴札 and did some shoppings.  Following that, we went to the old city area 老城区 and spent much time there playing with local Uygur 维吾尔族 people and then walked all the way through some local markets and back to the famous Atlgar (or Idkah) Mosque 艾提尕尔清真寺.  Just so happened they were performing the ceremony 礼拜 so we could not enter.  Then we just randomly walked around the area and found our way back to the hotel and got ready for dinner.  It was a beautiful, hot and fruitful day.
We lodged at 其尼瓦克宾馆 for the second night.

this gal was trying hard on this spin wheel thingy.
hey there, don't be shy.
do you understand what does that mean? was it related to earthquake or does it have hidden meaning?
hello there, can I take a picture of you?
were they making a deal? shit, I was spotted.

hello? how are you? nice teeth you have.
hello gal. you are so pretty. too bad there was something wrong with my lens and it was out of focus.
so we left the 喀什老城 already and came to a local street, full of local people. I suspect not many tourists would come here.
they were enjoying a nice afternoon.
interesting doors and windows eh?

a very old looking barber shop. nice hair cut, cut it all. and the customer can bend his head 90 degree, very cool.
what was so serious they were discussing about?
tailor? perhaps.
was that woman following that kid without pants?
hello lady, you got some thick eye lash.

tailoring again.... they did not want us to shoot pictures though. most likely because they were shy.
group effort, working on some shoes.
3eyes, what were you shooting?
sewing some scarves.
we almost finished that street and came to some other buildings.
