    "Going to southern Xinjiang without going to Kashgar is equivalent to not going, and going to Kashgar without going to the old city will be a lifelong regret! In general, maybe all kinds of media have praised the old city of Kashgar too much, and there will be some overstatement after personal experience. Everyone has a heart in Kashgar and I imagined it to be so perfect!"
