Kashgar is in far western China, near the Pakistan border, and was one of the most important trading stops along the Silk Road. The population is about 80-90% Uyger (Central Asian Muslems). Commerce still thrives here as evidenced by the livestock market every Sunday. People come from around the region to buy and sell cattle, donkeys, goats, sheep, horses, and camels. The second photo shows a man "test driving" a horse before deciding whether or not to buy it.
