Xiang Fei Park is located in Haohan Township on the eastern outskirts of Kashgar City. Its core structure, the tomb of Xiang Fei, was built around 1640 and was originally the mausoleum of the Apaq Khoja family, descendants of Islamic saints. Legend has it that Rong Fei (commonly known as Xiang Fei), a Uyghur concubine of Emperor Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, came from this family, hence the name of the mausoleum. The current park was expanded around this legendary story.
The garden is roughly divided into two areas: the front area features reconstructed historical sites such as Xiangfei's former residence and the Baoyue Tower, complemented by scenes like the relief wall, love tree, and mirror pool, narrating Xiangfei's life from birth to her entry into the imperial palace in Beijing. The rear area consists of solemn ancient architectural complexes, with the main tomb chamber featuring a square base and round dome, its exterior walls clad in green glazed tiles. Together with the scripture hall and high-low mosques, they form a typical Islamic-style architectural complex. The glazed dome and mirror pool reflections are highly popular photo spots in the garden.
Beyond sightseeing, the park's performance experiences set it apart from ordinary mausoleum attractions: the entrance features a welcoming ceremony with actors portraying Xiang Fei, followed by Uyghur folk wedding performances and the musical "Joyful Xiang Fei," showcasing Uyghur dance, music, and costume culture. The intangible cultural heritage exhibition area, Xiang Fei teahouse, and food court invite visitors to slow down and enjoy handicrafts or local snacks. Historically, the real Xiang Fei (Consort Rong) was buried in the Eastern Qing Tombs, while this Kashi cemetery holds her family's remains. The tomb chamber attributed to her reflects more of a folkloric imagination, adding a layer of intrigue to the visit.

Show More ReviewsIt's a very off-the-beaten-path attraction. I didn't buy a show ticket, so I just strolled around the park briefly. There were so many different kinds of flowers inside, they were really beautiful. Taking my time to look around and walk at a leisurely pace was truly delightful.
