So Kashgar 　　Called “the best-preserved example of a traditional Islamic city to be found anywhere in central Asia” by American architect and historian George Michell， the old city of Kashgar is a vital cultural intersection on the historic Silk Road in the remote west of China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. 　　Michell made this observation in his 2008 book Kashgar： Oasis City on China’s Old Silk Road. Before him， German-Swiss film director Marc Forster made similar remarks concerning his decision to film Kite Runner （2007） in Kashgar instead of Afghanistan， where the story was set. 　　Sa
