Must-visit blue-domed architecture in Kashgar

📍Hardcore highlights: Who says cemeteries can only be gloomy? This Uyghur architectural complex uses Tiffany blue domes and Islamic carvings to turn family tombs into Kashgar’s top photo spot! The legend of Fragrant Concubine flows from the painted coffin straight through a time tunnel to the Forbidden City, and the glazed bricks look stunning under the sunlight~ 📸Unconventional photo tips: • Shoot the main tomb’s exterior wall from below with a twirling skirt—friends will ask if you’re in Iran • Tomb guardian uncle’s secret spot: at 5 PM, light and shadows shine through the carved windows beautifully • Don’t miss the folk performances: Fragrant Concubine’s welcome dance happens three times daily, and Xinjiang girls have eyelashes long enough to light matches! 🚗Easy transportation: 15 minutes by taxi from Kashgar Old Town (starting fare 7 yuan). It’s best to rush in by 10 AM to avoid tour groups. The 30 yuan ticket is worth it for the Qing dynasty gossip you’ll pick up~ 💡Hidden Easter eggs: • Peek through the tomb door’s keyhole to see a gold-leaf Quran inside (no photos allowed!) • Under the vineyard trellis in the scenic area grows the same jujube flowers as Fragrant Concubine’s—only true Fragrant Concubine fans have smelled them • At the exit souvenir shop, you can buy lavender sachets to take home the emperor’s signature scent
