Chini-Bagh — "Chinese Garden" in Persian — was the residence of the British consul in Kashgar from 1890 until the end of the Great Game. George Macartney, the first British representative here, turned a modest compound into a comfortable household from which he monitored Russian movements and hosted travellers crossing the Karakoram and the Pamirs. The building has since been converted into a hotel and the garden is no longer what it was, but the site carries a remarkable amount of historical weight.
The hotel itself is functional rather than charming, but the grounds are pleasant and the location is good — a short walk from the Id Kah Mosque. If you are interested in the Great Game era, this is one of the few physical traces of that period left in Kashgar. Peter Hopkirk's "The Great Game" and Catherine Macartney's own memoir bring the place to life.
