Silk Road Travelogue: Encounter with an Ismaili Family in Tashkurgan, China

25 November 2016

Leave a comment

“Superbe voyage et magnifiques photos!”, “I am loving every word of Ali Karim’s Travelogue,” “the scenery is incredible, and so are the photographs”, and “this was fascinating! I can’t wait for more” are some of the readers remarks to a special Silk Road series on Simergphotos that is capturing everyone’s attention! Now, in his new piece Ali Karim meets up with an Ismaili family running a grocery store in Tashkurgan, and also gets to see the town’s simple Ismaili jamatkhana, albeit from outside as it has been closed for some time. Once more, like Ali’s 3 previous installments that covered Shangai, Urumqi, Turpan and Kashgar, readers are treated to stunning photos, excellent information and good anecdotes! PLEASE CLICK ANYWHERE ON THIS PARAGRAPH or on the photo below for Karim’s newest piece.
