Visit Haohan Village near Kashgar in Xinjiang to explore Uyğ

Welcome to a Muslim village near Kashgar in Xinjiang, where the landscape and daily life feel far from the busy urban centers. The locals are Uyghurs and other minority groups with their own languages and traditions. The village sits close to the Afaq Khoja Mausoleum, an important religious site for Muslims in China, which adds spiritual weight to the trip. The video shows a series of simple, vivid moments: sharing a table with locals who don’t share a common language, trying local bread and yogurt, observing Arabic-style houses, and enjoying the tranquil garden setting. The narrator highlights how Xinjiang’s people are ethnically diverse beyond the umbrella label of Chinese, reflecting centuries of Silk Road connections. The day ends with a quiet mausoleum visit and a note about finding fresh seasonal produce like watermelons, making the whole outing feel intimate and grounded in authentic local culture.
