Kashgar First Impressions: Old Town, Naan, and Adventurous E
First Impressions of Kashgar: WHAT DID I JUST EAT?!
Join Wilko as he starts a 14-day Silk Road journey in Kashgar, China, a historic crossroads of cultures. His first impression is a city that’s incredibly lively and bustling, even with some air pollution on arrival. He wanders the narrow lanes of the Old Town, soaking in the vibrant atmosphere. Food becomes a thrill ride with adventurous eats: freshly baked naan from a clay oven, a surprisingly sweet goose egg with honey and saffron, and a very unique local bird broth that left him surprised by its flavor. He also checks into a stylish hotel with mood lighting and even handles laundry in the hotel gym. This trip dives into Asian culture through Uyghur and Tajik traditions, along with Buddhist and Persian influences visible in streets, food, and people across this remarkable region.
This is the start of an epic journey along the Silk Road, inviting genuine experiences and deep cultural understanding as Wilko connects with locals and learns along the way.
