The expedition from Kazakhstan Following Shoqan Walikhanov’s Caravan Route has compared the old and the new faces of the ancient city Kashgar in China.

Today, Kashgar is a big modern city with skyscrapers, shops, cafes, hotels and other "attributes" of a well-developing metropolis. Unfortunately, the old Kashgar as described by Shoqan Walikhanov, can now be found only as a collection of several architectural objects and a small district in the old city.
