If you have money and leisure, come to the Gaotai Residential Area in Kashgar to feed the pigeons

The Gaotai Residential Area is a Uyghur ethnic community located on a 40-meter-high and 800-meter-long loess cliff at the northeast end of the old city of Kashgar. It has a history of 600 years. The Uyghur people have lived here for generations, building their houses along the cliff, layer upon layer, forming a network of interconnected, crisscrossing, winding, and undulating alleys. Walking through these alleys, you see history, encounter intangible cultural heritage, and understand ethnic culture. At the end of the Gaotai Residential Area, there is a group of pigeons with foot wings called 'Tayun.' The Uyghur pigeon keeper Taga is very enthusiastic. Seeing us watching, he immediately took out some feed and called them to fly up and eat, then handed the feed to us. The pigeons, very bold, continued to perch on our hands and peck at the feed, tickling us gently and affectionately. That moment of leisure transcended all frozen moments in time. Looking back is a thousand years, looking up is the distance. 📍Detailed Address: Southeast 50 meters from the intersection of Tuman Road and Areya Road, Kashgar City; 🚉Transportation Guide: City scenic spot, accessible by bus; 🗓Itinerary Arrangement: Free attraction, although not very large, you can spend half a day if you are taking travel photos.
