Kashi ancient city slogan slogan

The total area of Xinjiang accounts for one sixth of the land area of China. This land is 6.5438+0.66 million square kilometers, but there are only 654.38+02 5A scenic spots, most of which are "God-given" natural scenery such as mountains, lakes, forests and canyons, and this 5A scenic spot in Kashgar is the most special one. It is a city.

There are so many ancient cities and old cities in Xinjiang, which is the "only" 5A and the closest one to Pamirs.

The ancient city of Kashgar has a history of 2 100 years.

From the tourist's point of view, it is really "different".

Different humanities disciplines

I saw some different shops in Kashgar.

For example, this Millennium mule shop post station is actually an ancient inn, where mules, horses, camels and other means of transportation are placed. Generally speaking, it is an indelible and important mark in a period of history.

Kashi, located in the center of the ancient western regions, is the only place to communicate the land traffic between the East and the West, and it is also an important "post station" on the Silk Road. For a long time, businessmen from all over the world have shuttled back and forth here, so it is very important to stay in the hotel and play a top role.

Mule and horse shop was born under this background.

It was once brilliant in that era, and many Kashgar people set up post stations at their doorsteps.

It was also from that time that Kashgar people began to respect differences, tolerate diversity and understand the importance of integration and communication. People began to treat this as a business systematically and cautiously.

At that time, a mule shop was often passed down from generation to generation.

In the ancient city of Kashgar, I also saw shops with gambling stones.

The city next to Kashgar is a famous producing area of Hetian jade. Merchants who dump jadeite will peel off a part of the "skin" of a huge original stone, revealing some hidden essence. As for whether this stone will eventually "scrape" a big jade or some broken jade, it depends on the luck of the buyer.

If you are interested in this jade, you can negotiate the price with the shop and then move it away.

I'm thinking, what should I do if such a big piece of jade is left unattended in front of the store and stolen?

So I went up to it and touched it ... and guess what? Forget stealing. If several people move it together, they may not be able to move it.

Different habits

Kashgar, the people in this ancient city have their own living habits for thousands of years.

They are a kind of inheritance and some unwritten "rules" that people living here silently abide by.

For example, on the roadside inside and outside the ancient city, I often see such nail boards nailed to the wall, with some plastic bags hanging on them and some food scraps in them.

These residues include rice and noodles, mostly meat.

I asked the little Uighur girl who was shopping with me: What is this for?

She said, this is for sheep.

It's probably unnecessary meat residue left over from my own family. You can pack it and hang it here. If other people have animals to feed at home, they can take them back to cook feed for their cattle and sheep. Here's the thing.

The ancient city of Kashgar often holds some patriotic education activities.

There is a flag-raising ceremony here every Monday. The flag-raising process is the same as the flag-raising ceremony we attended in the mainland. We played the national anthem, watched the national flag rise to the highest place and finished the ceremony. But the way Kashgar people queue up is different from ours.

When watching the flag-raising in Kashgar, there was a group of men, women and children. There are obvious differences between men and women.

Different food

In addition, there is a steamed bun shop in the ancient city of Kashgar, which is said to be "the best in the city".

Baked steamed stuffed bun is a special food in Xinjiang. To make this steamed stuffed bun delicious, you must use the freshest mutton, which is even and fat, and the heat should be in place when roasting.

In Kashgar, there are many steamed stuffed bun shops, but only a few of them cook delicious food. There are also a lot of "foodies" in Kashgar, and they will also "wade through mountains and rivers" to find a shop and eat a roast steamed stuffed bun.

This steamed stuffed bun shop in the ancient city only opens for a short time every day. Kashgar people are so "casual" in doing business. I have passed it many times, and it often closes. Even if the door is open, it is full and there are no seats. ...

So go early and eat once.

The name of this shop is not very eye-catching: Guzu Bakery. In Kashgar, people seem to be joking with the name of the store.

I bought two baked buns and tasted them. Personally, I didn't find anything special. Maybe I don't know how to eat. It is said that many famous people have been there.
