 The Beautiful Kashgar (2): The Long Silk Road

Kashgar has a written history of more than 2,000 years. Home to 47 ethnic groups, it is the birthplace of Uighur culture and a hub for cultural exchanges between east and west. Zhang Qian, an envoy of the Han dynasty, made friends with various countries in the western regions, who made the influence of the Han dynasty of China reach the east and west of the Pamir plateau. His visit not only enhanced the connection between the Xinjiang region and the mainland of China, but also made the exchanges and contacts between China and central Asia, western Asia and even southern Europe closer. The footprints of Zhang Qian and other historical figures accelerated the exchange, integration and development of diverse cultures, and made Kashgar a stronghold for political, economic and cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries. Kashgar, the pearl city on the silk road, has witnessed the ups and downs of this ancient road.

This is Kashgar, rich and harmonious, diverse and peaceful, so colorful that individual lives can hardly be exhausted. No wonder some people call it the most poetically inhabited place in human history.
