Xinjiang Nuerlan Hotel (Formerly Name: Xinjiang Sultan Hotel) is offering accommodations in Kashgar. Featuring a 24-hour front desk, this property also provides guests with a restaurant. The room was very clean and comfortable, looking freshly renovated, all mini bar items were reasonably priced (water was 2 Yuan only), receptionists were polite, helpful and spoke good English. Plus, we had an early check-in at 9 in the morning and they arranged it. Really a pleasant stay.

Colorful Uyghur decoration and wall paintings feature throughout Kashgar Pamir Youth Hostel, centrally located in Kashgar Old Town. The hostel had all the necessary facilities and was perfectly located right next to the mosque - the heart of the city. There was a lovely rooftop - great for lazy mornings and for chatty evenings (but you can't hear the noise in the rooms). Staff was helpful, kind and efficient - always there to answer endless questions. Though - don't forget to talk to other travelers they might know even more. Staff also helps to arrange your trip to Tashkurgan through Karakuli lake, which is helpful now, since there are some new restrictions to foreigners, and prices are reasonable. Be aware that they have AC rooms and no AC rooms, make sure you get an AC room in the summer.

If you've been to old sections of cities in the Near and Middle-East, nothing particularly new or interesting about Kashgar's old city. The Sunday animal market which I most looked forward to was just that, an outdoor area with sheeps, cows, goats and horses for sale. Nothing particularly fascinating.
Getting around is easy - taxis are everywhere, buses too, local people understand Mandarin and some English. My favorite was the live stock market (Sundays only), as well as the old town. Food is easily found, I'd recommend going to night food market to taste a little bit of everything. The 100 years old tea house (it's the name) not far from the Mosque is a great place to lay back and experience the local life.
The Sunday livestock market, the Uighur food market, the old city, the food at Namur restaurant was fabulous. Taxis are cheap and the drivers do their best to work with language barriers. There are public busses as well. The bazaar was amazing, endless and so full of life and locals.
Visit the livestock market on Sunday. It's definitely one-of-a-kind, and not easily seen elsewhere in the world already. The old city is atmospheric and lively, unlike so many other 'touristified' places. Street food is excellent, mostly clean (use your common sense) and security is tight without being overly excessive.
Kashgar is a pretty long way from anywhere but once you're here it has a pleasant (heavily restored) old town, a second tranche of crumbling old town (used in the Kite Runner film), a bustling market on the outskirts and a smaller market within the restored old town. Additionally there is a very pleasant mausoleum/mosque complex on the outskirts and Kashgar can be used as a base for Shipton's Arch (about 1.5 hour's drive to the NW), the Karakorum highway and the Taklamakan desert.
You can see both the original old city and the 'new' old city near to each other. The bazaar is really worth visiting as you get to meet the locals buying their daily goods there. Really colorful culture and wonderful food stall around.
