Uyghur Guide and Carpet Exporter ,
I have been acquainted with Ablimit Ghopor for over ten years. When we met in Kashgar, Xinjiang, China in the year 2000, it was winter time, and Ablimit (also known as Elvis) had very little business and much time on his hands, so for about two weeks, I became the beneficiary of his excellent tour guiding skills in and around Kashgar, as well as as his superb mastery of the English language.
And not only is he familiar with the Kashgar area, but also Urumqi and its environs, as well as the road to the Khunjerab pass, including Tashkurgan, Lake Karakul, and all the other ethnic areas in that region, such as the Kyrgyz, Khasak, and Tajik. And as if this weren't enough, he is also very familiar with the Southern Silk Road, and the communities such as Khotan, and all of the silk-making regions of western Xinjiang.
In addition to his fluency in English, and his vast knowledge of the whole region of western Xinjiang, Elvis also possesses an incredible familiarity with all things silk: he knows how it is made, where the best silk may be obtained, and can be of great help to those tourists who come to Xinjiang especially to buy silk. He can help them not to be swindled, and can help them get what they want at a good, reasonable price.
So, what else can I say about my good friend Elvis? I can speak of his honest character and his sincere desire to be the most helpful guide and translator that he can be. His word is his bond; it is like gold, and you can take it to the bank. Whatever he says, one can count on it being done; whatever time he tells you he will come to get you, you can set your watch by it, no ifs, ands, or buts.
So, whatever is your wish in Xinjiang, from a camel ride in the desert to a tour of the old bazaar, from a campsite by Lake Karakul, to a silk carpet of the finest workmanship, you may count on my good friend Ablimit Ghopor. And if you should have any questions, please feel free to call or write him.

GUESTNEIL Best Guide in Kashgar

If you're an English-speaking traveler heading out to Kashgar (Kashi), make absolutely certain you contact Elvis. He'll make your trip very worthwhile.

Before arriving in Xinjiang, I contacted Elvis by email. He immediately called me with a cheery "hello." Until we arrived in Kashgar, he was available to answer our questions about the region and helped ease our anxieties about traveling through this new land.

Our trip to Kashgar was a success in large part to Elvis. He guided us through less-traveled paths in the Old City, visiting old craftsmen and markets. The highlights of our tour were the visits to the old chai hannas (traditional teahouses). Sitting in the smokey old cafes, shoes off and cross-legged on a crickety wooden bench, we shared fresh hot tea and toasty girde naan bread (think central asian bagels) with a crowd of old Uighur men. We felt alien and out of place, but wonderfully grateful to catch a glimpse into this seemingly secret hideaway. Diversions such as this were unforgettable. And in case you prefer a Western cafe with fine coffee, breakfast, pizza and burgers, Elvis frequents a few of these as well. He's also a local carpet expert and can help you at the markets. He has a full collection that are also available for sale on his website.

In addition to sharing the sights, smells and sounds of his hometown, Elvis also does his best to help travelers interact with local teachers and students. I never thought I'd make so many local friends. This cultural exchange was the highlight of my trip and I am honored to have made their acquaintances.

Whatever season, Elvis can help. He is a tour guide, local carpet expert and great friend. He can also help you book drivers and trips. His tireless efforts and enthusiasm will open up a side of Kashgar that might convince you it is the best place to visit in Xinjiang, as it did me. Thanks Elvis!
