The distance from Kashgar to Yarhend is reckoned 36 miles (Tash), journeyed over by karavans and carts in seven days. On the third day from Kashgar, the traveller reaches a place called Yenghi Hissar, which is occupied by a strong garrison of soldiers.
From Kashgar to Aksu, the distance is 70 miles; a karavan takes to perform it twelve days.
From Aksu to Ushturban, lying to the south, the traveller requires two days.
Proceeding still farther to the east, we reach Komul in twenty-eight days, as follows:--
| From | To | Days' Journey |
| Aksu | Bay | 3 |
| Bay | Saram | 1 |
| Saram | Kutcha | 2 |
| Kutcha | Shiar | 2 |
| Shiar | Bögür | 4 |
| Bögür | Kurli | 3 |
| Kurli | Kohne Turfan | 8 |
| Kohne Turfan | Komul | 3 |
| 26 |
Adding twelve days for the journey from Kashgar to Aksu, this makes, for the whole distance from the latter city, forty days.
