This gallery documents my trip to the westermost province of China - Xinjiang. Places visited include Urumqui, Kashgar, Tashkurgan and the Karakoram Highway. The area borders Tajikistan, Afganistan, Pakistan and India. In the city of Kashgar, the majority ethnic group is Uyghur, up into the mountains there are Kirgiz and Tajik villages and settlements, as well as various nomadic groups. Tashkuragan is majority Tajik.

The Xinjiang gallery will be organized into individual sub-galleries, arranged more or less chronologically, each of which explores a particular phase of the journey, a particular place or lifestyle. Comments are welcome

The gallery is under construction. If you are interested, please come back in a week or more, after I've had time to process and upload the pictures. For now, some random shots from Kashgar.
