I'm Chinese and I do feel it's important to preserve ancient settlements and living quarters. Actually even if you know Mandarin (Putonghua) it doesn't help. The provincial govts (not sure if the central govt has a hand) is usu the culprit. Not just the kashgar living district, they also destroy the "hutong" in Beijing and Shanghai of the Han chinese common people. They are worth preserving but they still pulled it down in the name of modernisation. I feel modern and old can actually co-exist

I don't understand how they can say that these houses are earthquake hazards when they have been standing for so long.
