Textile park tackles poverty in Kashgar

Shandong government introduced 74 projects in three years to provide jobs and promote development of remote areas

Around 6 kilometers from the urban area of Shule county, Kashgar, one of the least-developed areas in Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, is home to a textile industrial park.

With modern facilities such as spacious plants and solar powered street lamps, it stands out on an otherwise vacant expanse of land.
