Sunday Market in Kashgar

Every Sunday, people come from the surrounding villages near Kashgar to buy and sell their wares. The town multiples in size and the crowds are clogging the streets. Recently the Chinese government has constructed a covered market, but there is still chaos to be found. I found the market to be a definite highlight of my trip, combined with that of Hotan, another Silk Route town (see other galleries)
