Day 4 Kashgar - Urumqi

Attractions: Idigar Mosque, Sunday Bazaar, Handicraft Street

Meal: Not included

Hotel: Overnight in Urumqi

Today meet your guide and driver at the hotel lobby, then we will do a full day Kashgar city excursion. We will visit the Idigar Mosque. Itigarh Mosque is an ancient architectural complex with strong national style and religious colours, which is a model of Uyghur ancient architectural art and has become famous as a local symbol of the ancient city of Kashgar. The mosque was also an important institution for spreading Islamic culture and training talents in ancient times, training many Islamic clergymen and scholars, and other influential poets, literary scholars, historians and translators, which had a certain influence on the religious circles both at home and abroad.

Then we will pay a visit to the famous Sunday bazaar. This morning, you can enjoy plenty of sleep and wake up to the bustling Kashgar Sunday market, which used to be a great place to meet locals, traders and travellers on the Silk Road. Today, there are still many locals who transfer their sheep and cattle to the local market for exchange.

They will haggle in the sign language that is unique to their people. We arrive at the local Handicraft street and are able to see dazzling jewellery, original pottery, unique musical instruments, and the end of the daily life experience of the locals. Free time at a tea house is specially arranged for you to relax and soak up the local culture and traditions. After the visit, bid farewell to Kashgar and transfer to the airport for your flight to Urumqi.
