China's Hidden Muslim City That Looks Like Pakistan — Kashgar's Secret

China's Hidden Muslim City That Looks Like Pakistan — Kashgar's Secret Description : Deep inside China's Xinjiang region, past the edge of the Taklamakan Desert, lies a city that looks nothing like the rest of the country — and everything like Pakistan. This is Kashgar: a 2,000-year-old Silk Road oasis where 84% of the population is Muslim, where the call to prayer still echoes from the 600-year-old Id Kah Mosque, and where Uyghur culture has survived empires, revolutions, and modern political pressure. In this documentary, we explore: • The ancient history of Kashgar as a Silk Road trading hub • How Islam first arrived in the 8th century and took permanent root under the Kara-Khanid Khanate • The Id Kah Mosque — China's largest mosque and its turbulent history • The legendary tomb of Afaq Khoja and the folklore of the "Fragrant Concubine" • Daily life in Kashgar's Old City — its Grand Bazaar, food stalls, and craftsmen • The Uyghur people's language, dress, and identity today This is part of our ongoing series documenting Muslim communities in the world's most remote and lesser-known corners.
