In response to the people's pressing needs, the local government adopted a tailored approach, providing each household with a customized design that aimed to retain its original architectural style as much as possible. This strategy not only maintained the city's distinctive features but also transformed it into a livable space with modern amenities, breathing new life into the historic streets.

Ground floors of residents' homes were converted into charming shops, showcasing unique styles and creating a vibrant marketplace, while upper levels remained private family retreats. Various bazaars, each with its own charm, have flourished in the city.

By the end of 2020, a total of 7.049 billion yuan (about $1 billion) had been invested in the renovation project of Kashgar's ancient city, and 49,083 dilapidated houses covering 5.07 million square meters had been renovated.

The renovated city has now created employment for over 10,000 people. With a growing influx of domestic and international tourists, it has become a popular social media hotspot and has successfully upgraded to a national 5A-level scenic spot, the highest standard for tourist attractions in China.
