Bobot, these men are all from Xinjiang, the far west of China. They're Chinese citizens, but ethnically, they're muslim Uighurs, the ethnic majority in Xinjiang.
Xinjiang is indeed an interesting place to visit.

A wonderful mixture of faces, with great personal expression, although non of them look extremely Chinese to me. Alison

Hi Alison. Xinjiang, especially around Kashgar where I took these photos, is a crossroads of civilizations. The borders with Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Tajikistan are all quite close to Kashgar, and its not far off the Old Silk Road, so you can imagine that there has been a lot of interaction between different ethnicities in this region. These men don't look Chinese, and they also dont speak Chinese very well (if at all) since they speak Uighur.
This is one part of China where the Han Chinese are still trying to exert more control over.
Take care ~ James
