The city of Kashgar is built in an angle between two branches of the Kazūl River, which join one another a few miles east of the city. The Kazūl, or Kazūl Yaman, comes from Mosh (a ruined place towards the Tarik Mountains), its other branch, the northern one, is called the Toman. The united stream flows eastward, passing at 40 miles a small town called Faizabad, and after receiving the Aksoo stream joins the Yarkund River.
