Kashgar Travel Blog

Two days ago the weather in Kashgar dropped dramatically. Now, there are fewer electric bikes cruising the roads, which means more people fighting for taxis. The city has slowed down a little, but is still alive. Though the streets are still busy with activity, the roads are deserted much earlier in the evening. The sun sets around 8:30pm Beijing time, 6:30pm local time. The nights are very cold, hovering just below zero. When the sun comes out during the day, the temperature goes up to 6 or 7 degrees Celsius. The down coats are out and will be for the rest of the winter. Last year the coldest days reached -10 degrees, which is considered very cold for Kashgar. Most expect that the temperature won’t drop much more.
