Wandering through the sun-baked lanes of Kashi feels like flipping through an ancient storybook 📖. At its heart is Guli, born and raised in the city now known as the guardian of its revived spirit.
Guli’s mission? To share the vibrant world of Uygur heritage with every visitor—whether you’re a backpacker from Dhaka or a digital nomad from Jakarta. She’s the insider friend who knows exactly where to taste the fluffiest polo (Uygur rice dish) and where to catch live dutar tunes under starlit skies ✨.
Growing up in China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Guli learned muqam melodies from her grandmother and perfected laghman noodle recipes with family. Today, she brings that warmth to her guided tours, inviting guests to join folk dances that have everyone moving in seconds.
Thanks to local revival efforts, Kashi’s ancient city is now a buzzing hub where centuries-old architecture coexists with trendy tea houses and art galleries. No wonder travelers from Singapore to Colombo are flocking here 📍.
Whether you crave history, crave foodie adventures, or just want a genuine taste of Uygur hospitality, Guli’s got your back. Her motto? Culture grows stronger when we share it—and every smile builds a new bridge 🌏🤝.
