Kashgar’s accommodation ranges from 300-year-old courtyard homes converted into guesthouses to international chain hotels. Location matters more here than in most Chinese cities: staying near the Old Town saves you a daily taxi, while the city centre trades character for chain reliability. The neighborhoods guide maps the districts, and the best time to visit explains how prices shift by season.
Where to Stay in Kashgar: Old Town (Ancient City)
The Old Town (Ancient City) is where most travellers want to be, inside or a short walk from the walled lanes and Id Kah Square. You trade some room size and parking for the chance to walk to everything and drink tea on a rooftop terrace, and time your stay around the events calendar if you can. Book early for autumn, when the weather by month guide shows the mildest days.
