Lhasa to Khasgar Tour
Khashgar, also called Khashi, was
once a major halt for caravans on the Silk Road .It
is now a prosperous commercial centre with a population
composed of Uighur, Tajik and Kirgiz nationalities.
Here it is the Han Chinese who are in the minority.
Id Kah Mosque & Square are the center of the
Khasgar which is the main shopping market. One of
the sights not to miss is the Sunday animal market
in the large field which is situated at a distance
of half an hour walk eastward from the main market.
The main attractions of Khasgar is the “Abakh
Khoja Tomb”. It is nearly an hour walk from
the main market to reach the Tomb. The Tomb of Xiang
Fei, a concubine of the Emperor Quinlong, and those
of her relatives are in the mosque. There is a cemetery
behind the mosque has some holes in the graves with
the occasional bone poking through.
