Street vendors.

Reminded me of part of Beijing after their “beautifying” effort. 😉

The old town is currently being “beautifying” by the Chinese government. No more access for toutirsts.

Today we are spending it in Kashgar.

No long car ride. Just a short walk from our hotel.

This is the bridge to the Old Town.

Apparently The Kite Runner was filmed in Kashgar and you can see this bridge (wooden bridge at the time)
