Lost in the Old Town of Kashgar

The old town of Kashgar is made of bricks, mud and some other simple materials, oozing the exotic air of traditional oasis town of Silk Road, a place that once visited by Marco Polo, Sven Hedin etc. Up until today when modernization has been creeping in from all corners, still the old town retains the charm passing down throughout the centuries.

The streets in old town jumbled up like a labyrinth, doors are comparatively small and ceilings are low, I wandered around and finally lost inside as some paths will just lead to other people's houses.
