Shache is a famous tourist city in Kashgar Prefecture, Xinjiang, China. Every day, thousands of tourists come here for sightseeing and vacation. This time I will introduce a travel guide about Shache.
Recommended attractions:
Intangible Cultural Heritage Expo Park (Yarkand Palace): The rebuilt palace is grand in scale and has a Central Asian style.
The Tomb of the Yarkand Khanate: The ticket price is 15 yuan. The Tomb of the Yarkand Khanate consists of three parts. The white building is the memorial mausoleum of Amanisa, the editor of the local traditional music "Twelve Muqams"!
Old Town: Recha Road and Golbagh Road, two must-visit streets. Qiare Road (Old City Road) is a main street with authentic Western life and all kinds of shops on both sides of the street. Golbagh Road is a pedestrian street next to the royal mausoleum. Famous movie theaters, old teahouses and ice cream shops are all on the street. When you feel tired, find a teahouse, buy a pot of tea, listen to the locals chatting and singing, and experience the life of the Shache people.
City transportation:
In Shache, the starting fare for a taxi is only 5 yuan, and since the city is not big, the maximum fare will not exceed 10 yuan.
