county in Kashgar, Xinjiang; town in Yengisar, Kashgar, Xinjiang

We passed a good deal of motor transport on the road which led to Yengisar and Yarkant. Kashgar is a trucking centre, and at night, then around dawn, one can hear convoys starting out to cross deserts and mountains.

1976, Rewi Alley, “Kashgar and Khotan in South Sinkiang”, in Eastern Horizon, volume XV, number 5, Hong Kong: Eastern Horizon Press, →ISSN, →OCLC, page 15, column 1:

Sixty-eight kilometeres southeast of Kashgar is the small town of Yengisar, whose 400-year history of knife-making has made it famous throughout Xinjiang. A Yengisar knife is essential for every Uygur man, who wears it slung around his waist. A knife is especially important during the melon season, when it is produced with a ceremonial flair and thoroughly cleaned before use by cutting off the base of a melon. Knives are carefully chosen; hand-made ones encrusted with stones and inlaid with silver are highly valued, but just as effective are the sturdier ones with bone or horn handles and carving on the blade.
