Busy animal bazaar just outside Kashgar. They sell and buy all kinds of farm animals (horses, sheep, fat-tailed sheep, goats, camels, cows, yaks). There are also some butchers, where you can buy meat. If you are getting hungry you can get noodles or a kind of meat pie (like samsa) at some food stalls inside and outside the animal stock market. They do not treat their animals very good (depending on the type of animal more or less harsh). So this place might not be a good place to visit for everyone. We took a taxi to get there (we paid 30 CNY; hostel told us the normal price should be less) , but there is also a bus (#23). When you're outside the bazaar, turn left and walk up the road a bit, the bus leaves on the next crossing (300 m). Going back to kashgar you want the one on the bazaar side. I would not recommend to take the bus going there if you don't speak good chinese or uigur, as you cannot see the bazaar from the bus stop. Going back it's a good option, because the bus goes to the city center.

This thriving bazaar hosts traders from all over Central Asia.

Most packed on Sunday's when over 200,000 people often attend, with shoulder to shoulder shoppers & sightseers. It has been famous for centuries, and was a major trading bazaar of the Silk Road. Lots of unique locally produced goods.

I've been living/traveling in China for 3 years and this was probably one of my favorite experiences. I loved getting to see a place so unique and different from the rest of china. I think I could've wandered the alleys of the old city forever. People watching was so much fun here. Definitely a must if you are in Kashgar!

Lots to see and do in the old district. We enjoyed the craftsmen displaying their skills which have been past on through centuries of generations. Interesting tasty street foods, and watching the locals in their daily lives.
