Kashgar.

Kashgar Prefecture is entered through the old city, where residents remained after houses were rebuilt on their sites, and through Uyghur Muqam. The Twelve Muqam is the style kept with Kashgar. Dolan, Turpan and Hami Muqam are not absorbed into it.

People live here

Kashgar's old city is a scenic area and a neighbourhood. Rebuilt houses can look old without being medieval brick.

Not one song

Uyghur Muqam is song, dance and instruments in four regional styles. Kashgar holds the Twelve Muqam, not all four.
