[edit] Get in
Buses leave from Kashgar for ¥40. You may be required to go to the town with a tour group. Check with your hotel or the local Public Security Bureau prior to leaving to avoid hassles. If you are stuck at the border post at Ghez you will likely have to hitchhike back to Kashgar. With the recent riots, it is likely that foreigners will be strictly controlled.
