The must-visit handicraft street in Kashgar

To experience the most authentic Uyghur culture in Kashgar, you must visit the handicraft street in the old city of Kashgar. There is a saying among the people of Kashgar: 'If you haven't been to the handicraft street, you haven't been to Kashgar.' Besides the old city, places like the ancient city of Gaotai also showcase these meticulously crafted daily items, decorative items, and musical instruments by the Uyghur people, encompassing their lives and preserving a thousand-year-old tradition. The poet Yusuf advised people in 'Wisdom of Happiness' to treat craftsmen with great hospitality because 'the world's decorations rely on them, and the miracles of the human world are created by them.'
