Kashgar, China · Asia-Pacific
Kashgar's T2-plus-rebuilt-T1 4E field is an easy 8–10 km hop with a ¥2 bus and a real sofa CIP — the tradeoff is snack-only lounges, a thin international bank, joint-use weather, and a 240-hour TWOV stamp that Xinjiang does not issue.
An editorial 0–10 score. The overall is exactly the weighted sum of six traveler categories — not a Google rating and not a poll.
