What began as a routine travel vlog in China’s Xinjiang region has now triggered a heated debate online, especially among viewers in Pakistan and India. A Pakistani content creator visiting Kashgar, one of the most culturally significant cities for Uyghur Muslims, shared visuals that many social media users described as both surprising and unsettling.
The now-viral video shows the vlogger walking through the old quarters of Kashgar, a city known for its Islamic architecture, mosques, and centuries-old Uyghur traditions. In one part of the clip, he points towards a mosque-like structure where a woman was seen dancing on the first floor of a building while the main gates appear shut.
“This is the mosque… and this girl is dancing here,” the vlogger says in the video, sounding visibly taken aback by the scene around him.
