After the towering pishtaqs of the 'Stans, the main mosque in Kashgar, the Id Kah, is a place of quiet and human scale.
Within the (restored) walls the central square is filled with shady lime trees and the main prayer area is a raised platform open to the breeze and roofed with a carved wood ceiling supported on octagonal pillars.
Delightful and restful.
