Xinjiang Kashgar old town rebuilding and renovation project
Xinjiang Kashgar old town renovation project. the world old town used to be built with mud and adobe, but Kashgar is a very earthquake active region, houses in Kashgar old town are beautiful with over 1000 years long history but they can't withstand even minor earthquakes. Now all houses had been rebuilt with steel and concret, can withstand 8 degrees eathquake, they are also hook up with all modern facilities, running water, gas pipe, sewage system, wifi... the alleys were also broadened allowing fire trucks and ambulences to go in.
