Kashgar

Arrived here in the famed silk road city of Kashgar this afternoon in time to catch the end of the Sunday Market. The cities population swells by more that 50,000 people every Sunday. The main market near the centre of town is located in a new rather sterile concrete building, but the roads surrounding this are crammed with people wheeling and dealing their wares.
There is also a livestock market on the outskirts of town in which sheep, goats, camels, horses, and cattle are bought and sold. See some more pics here.
