Mosque sights in Kashgar

  1. A

    Id Kah Mosque

    The yellow-tiled Id Kah Mosque, which dates from 1442, is the heart of the city − and not just geographically. Enormous, its courtyard and gardens can hold 20,000 people during the annual Qurban Baiyram celebrations.

    Non-Muslims may enter, but Fridays are usually no-go. Dress modestly, including a headscarf for women. Take off your shoes if entering carpeted areas and be discreet when taking photos.
