I. Detailed Introduction to the Itinerary or Destination
Kashgar, a city located in the southwestern part of Xinjiang, is an important node on the ancient Silk Road. Here, various ethnic groups coexist harmoniously, cultures are diverse, and cuisine is abundant, earning it the reputation of a “living millennium-old city.” Among Kashgar’s many attractions, the Fragrant Concubine’s Tomb undoubtedly stands out as a shining gem.
The Fragrant Concubine’s Tomb, officially known as the Apak Hoja Mausoleum, was built in 1640 and is a grand architectural complex of tombs in the Xinjiang region. The mausoleum consists of five parts: a gate tower, a small folk experience temple, a large folk experience temple, a teaching hall, and the main tomb chamber. The main tomb chamber stands 27 meters high, surrounded by green glazed tiles and yellow and blue porcelain tiles with exquisite patterns and vibrant colors. The mausoleum houses the remains of 72 people from five generations of the Apak Hoja family, including the legendary Fragrant Concubine, Emperor Qianlong’s consort. Although the Fragrant Concubine’s true remains are buried in the Eastern Qing Tombs, the Fragrant Concubine’s Tomb, as her cenotaph, still carries people’s infinite imagination about this legendary woman.
Besides the Fragrant Concubine’s Tomb, Kashgar’s ancient city is also a must-visit attraction. Strolling through the ancient city feels like traveling through time, returning to the prosperous era of the Silk Road. Within the ancient city, places like the Id Kah Mosque, the Craftsmen’s Bazaar (Handicraft Street), and the Century-Old Teahouse are excellent spots to experience Kashgar’s history, culture, and folk customs.
