PHOTOGRAPHY — KASHGAR, XJ, CHINA · 7 FRAMES

Two thousand years of desert winds have never dimmed the vibrant life and romance of Kashgar Old Town. Earth-toned raw-clay dwellings rise and fall in a charming labyrinth, where weathered wooden doors at every corner unveil the rhythm of artisanal workshops and the laughter from century-old teahouses. It is a living epic of the Western Regions. Wandering through its lanes, the golden sunlight, soaring pigeons, smiling elders, and running children together weave a timeless, nostalgic dream.
