This trip is a self-guided trip in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. It is an autonomous region of China in the northwestern part of the country. It is the largest administrative region of China. The first city we came to was Kashgar. Located in the westernmost part of China. Near the borders of Afghanistan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan and Tajikistan. What will this city be like? You can follow in this clip and future clips.

Additional advice for anyone who wants to travel here.
- Internet if you're roaming and the device doesn't find a signal. It is recommended to choose China Unicom's own network (if using AIS and haven't encountered this problem yet)
- Most people here use Wechat more than Alipay. If you don't have one, it's recommended to bring cash.
- As I know, taxi drivers here can barely read Mandarin. Remember the names of Chinese places or press AMAP or Baidu Map from your mobile phone and let them guide you.
- In the city of Kashgar that I visited at the end of May, there was quite a lot of dust and wind. It is recommended that you prepare protective equipment.
- Traveling to Baisha Lake - Kalakul Lake requires a pass before you can travel.
- Local tours are cheaper than tours in front of the airport. (Try checking again)
- The food here is mostly sheep. There will be some chicken and beef.
- The people here are very cute.
