Recently, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region has planned and launched the "Listen to Xinjiang" themed tourism event to promote the characteristic tourism of Xinjiang by holding a national online contest.

People often say that Xinjiang is a wonderful land. If you don’t reach Xinjiang, you don’t know the magnificence and vastness of China. Kashgar is known as the hometown of singing and dancing, and it has the reputation of "you can't count as come to Xinjiang if you don't reach Kashgar."

Today, we invite you to experience the charm of Kashgar. (Correspondents: Ma Hongmei, Ma Ruiling, Yao Mingjun)
