Kashgar and Its Markets

I’ve just published in the Gallery a collection of photos taken in Kashgar during my trip to China in 2007. Kashgar was once the main crossroads of central Asia, famous for its markets full of goods and merchants from the east and west of the known world. Nowadays part of China’s Xinjiang region, the town is rapidly changing under the influence of Chinese Han and becoming more and more modern. Nonetheless, the charm is still there: especially in the old town, the Livestock Market (Mal Bazaar) and the Sunday Market (Yam Bazaar). Enjoy the shots!
