The history of Kashgar begins in the first millennium BC, when the tribes of Yuedzhi, Usuns and Saks were roaming around the vast expanses of the Taklamakan Desert and the piedmont slopes of the Pamir. Wandering from one encampment to another in the oases, they eventually began founding small settlements, which later were developed into cities on the Silk Road.[1]
