Roast Lamb.
It is one of the most famous dishes in Xinjiang and usually served on important banquets. Roast lamb is a magnificent thing. The complex flavor is bold yet delicate, the texture is a study in contrasts between the crisp, flavorful exterior and the tender, juicy interior, and the heady aroma brings a tear of joy to the eye and a bit of drool to the chin.

Lamian Noodles (Pulled Noodles)
Lamian noodles, known in Chinese as Lamian or Lamiantiao are popular with many ethnic groups in Xinjiang and the rest of China. The noodles are pliable and tough, smooth and delicious. The name ‘Lamian’ means ‘pulled noodles’. The noodle dough is pulled in a special way to create thinner and thinner strings of dough, and finally, noodles! Then the noodles are boiled quickly and various ingredients are added, including oil, mutton pieces, cooked tomato and chili peppers. Sometimes the noodles are stir-fried along with these ingredients, which can only be described as a totally different, yet equally delicious taste.

Stewed Mutton Cubes
This is a Xinjiang dish prepared especially for festivals. Cut mutton into cubes of 500 grams apiece and boil them in a big pot. When they are half done, remove the foam; and when they are 80 percent done, ass onions, pepper, ginger slices, carrots, turnips and tomatoes. Then remove and place on a big plate. Put some salt in the stock and remove to a bowl. Before eating the mutton, dip it in the stock.

Roast Dumplings
First chop the mutton, beef and sheep’s-tail fat into small cubes. Add chopped onions, salt and pepper to make the stuffing. Wrap the stuffing in dough, and put in an oven to roast for 20 minutes. The dumplings are thin-skinned, with tender meat stuffing and very delicious. The Uygurs often eat these together with nang (crusty pancakes) and rice to be eaten with the hands.

By air
Kashgar Airport is about 10 kilometers north of the city. There are more than 10 flights daily to Urumqi; the trip takes about an hour and a half. Leaving Kashgar for Urumqi can be surprisingly difficult, so it's a good idea to book tickets as far in advance as possible.

By train
Serving as a hub terminal of South Xinjiang Railways, train transportation is very convenient, yet, given the distances involved, time-consuming. There are trains to and from Urumqi daily; the journey takes over 23 hours. Trains to other major cities in China include Shanghai (over 3 days), Beijing (over 3 days), Lanzhou, Chengdu, Nanjing, Xi'an, Dunhuang.
