God’s-Eye View of Kashgar | Aerial Footage of the Ancient City, a Millennia-Old Silk Road Fairytale

As the camera ascends, the secrets of Kashgar’s Old City unfold under the sun—a maze of ochre alleyways, Islamic-style domes, and layered clay courtyards, like an ancient painting gently brushed by desert winds. The drone glides over the golden roof of the Id Kah Mosque, where sunlit alleys transform into flowing geometric patterns, and the footprints of playing children seem to merge with echoes of camel caravans. This is Kashgar, where the heartbeat of the Silk Road is seen through the eyes of the sky.
