For those unaware, Eid ul-Fitr marks the end of the month-long religious fasting called Ramadan. For the entire month a fast is supposed to be observed from sun-up to sun-down until the final day when they hold a celebration that seems to me to be as big in their culture as Christmas is in America. People travel long distances to see family, visit friends, and in many cases to visit an important mosque.
So when we woke up that morning after Ramadan, we knew there would be a lot of people, but that still didn't adequately prepare us for what we saw.
We arrived at Kashgar's Id Kah Mosque at 8am to find people from every direction of the city converging on the small yellow mosque which seemed to swallow thousands of them every second.
The only sound we heard were soft footsteps and one small boy trying to sell carpets to those who only brought plastic bags to kneel on. For one full hour the masses never stopped coming and the mosque never stopped swallowing.
I later found out that the mosque can hold up to 25,000 people at once, but I figure there's got to be some huge fire code violation going on there.

Muslims in northwest China Celebrate Eid Al-Fitr Festival
Muslims across northwest China on Wednesday celebrated their traditional Eid Al-Fitr Festival that marks the official end of the Holy month of Ramadan.
In Kashi City of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, more than 30,000 Muslims gathered at the Id Kah Mosque in the morning for the last prayer of Ramadan.
As a worldwide tradition, the Muslims sat shoulder by shoulder in an open area and gave their thanks to Allah.
Following the prayer was the first daylight meal in a month – a ritual observed with joy after a month of austerity.
Streets in Kashi were bustling once again as restaurants reopened, and the feasting began with Sama dance - a Uyghur folk dance people performed when praying for fruitful hunting and good harvest in ancient times and now also a must-do for the holiday celebration.
I've put on new clothes. Later on I'm meeting with friends and other family members, said Ishan Haji, a local resident in Kashi.
I don't feel tired at all (after dancing). It has been a great day for me, said Muhammad Nijat, another Kashi resident.
In Qinghai Province -- home to nearly 1.1 million Muslims, a prayer was held at the Dongguan Great Mosque in the capital city of Xining on Wednesday morning, attended by 150,000 people.
In Wuzhong City of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, another compact Muslim community, local people started celebration early Wednesday morning.
Residents gathered together with their families and friends for their first daytime meal after the Ramadan.
In Gansu Province, Muslims also prayed for better life and held various activities to celebrate the religious festival.

The corner where Heyitkah Mosque stood is now a school and parking lot. Satellite images show 30 other ‘erased’ religious sites, but Xinjiang officials deny any demolitions took place. The vanishing places of worship are seen as a reflection of the growing pressure Chinese authorities have placed on Uygurs and other ethnic minorities in the region.
