Some booking links are affiliate links. If you book through them, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. We never let this influence which places we recommend.
People's Park is the heart of Kashgar's public life, a sprawling oasis of poplar and willow trees that offers a tranquil escape from the old city's bustling bazaars. Visitors can observe Uyghur elders playing chess, families picnicking on the lawns, and cultural performances at the open-air stage. The park's central lake with paddleboats and the monument to Mao Zedong add historical layers. It's a place to experience everyday Kashgar life, especially during the lively Sunday market when the park fills with vendors and entertainers.
Don't miss
- Watch Uyghur elders play intense games of chess and cards under the shade trees
- Rent a paddleboat on the central lake for a leisurely view of the park
- Visit the monument to Mao Zedong, a relic of the park's Soviet-era design
