Renovation of ancient city's old town provides locals with more opportunities to benefit from Xinjiang's tourism boom A cursory glance at any guide to Kashgar will undoubtedly advise a stroll through the ancient city's labyrinthine alleys and loess mound mudstone buildings, and to take tea at a 100-year-old teahouse.But for a truly authentic experience in this oasis city, which lies in the south of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, put down that book and instead turn to those who know it best-the people who call it home.Salametgul Khari's homestay in Kashgar is a delicately painted three-story house with a good-sized yard. On warm days, groups of tourists can often be found standing under the shade of its 60-year-old fig tree, laughing and chattering as they try their best to learn a traditional Uygur folk dance.Khari's friends and family call her Guli, the Uygur word for flower.

The business has since made a name for itself as the go-to place for visitors wanting to experience the real Kashgar.
