:: 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.

now since the worshipping was finished, we got in there to take a look. but once again, we did not pay to go really inside. so we left from there.
