Kashgar day trip route: 8am 喀什老城 → lunch Kebab → afternoon 艾提尕尔清真寺 → sunset at 高台民居. This route covers Kashgar's three landmarks at a brisk but not rushed pace.
Start at 8am at 喀什老城 to beat the crowds. After 2-3 hours, head to a nearby Kebab spot for lunch — pick a local-frequented eatery. At 2pm, head to 艾提尕尔清真寺 for 2 hours. At 5pm, reach 高台民居 for sunset — one of Kashgar's finest sunset spots.
Transport: Chartered car for the day is most convenient, ~500-800 RMB (driver + 8 hours). On a budget, Didi + bus combo runs ~100 RMB/day. Clothing: lightweight + sneakers + sunscreen. Budget reference: tickets + food + transport ~300-600 RMB/person.
