Located in Shule county, Kashgar, Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, Zhang Qian Memorial Hall (Shule Museum) showcases over 310 exhibits, including 113 cultural artifacts, telling the legend of Zhang Qian (164-114 BC), Shule's traditional culture and rich history.
One exhibition focuses on the imperial envoy of Zhang Qian's diplomatic mission to the Western Regions over 2,000 years ago. His pioneering trek across Central Asia opened up a route that later became the Silk Road.
