Kashgar or Kashi Sunday Market
Excerpted from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



The city has a very important Sunday market.
Thousands of farmers pour in from the surrounding fertile lands with a wide variety of fruit and vegetables.
Kashgar's livestock market is also very lively.

Silk and carpets made in Hotan are sold at bazaars, as well as local crafts, such as copper teapots and wooden jewelry boxes.

Kashgarli Mahmut (Mahmut from Kashgar) have written the first Ottoman - Arabic Exemplary Dictionary called Divan-i Lugat-it Türk.
