- 1871, T. G. Montgomerie, “Report of the Mirza's Exploration of the Route from Caubul to Kashgar”, in Proceedings of the Royal Geographical Society of London, volume 15, number 3, page 196:
- The city of Kashgar is built in an angle between two branches of the Kazūl River, which join one another a few miles east of the city. The Kazūl, or Kazūl Yaman, comes from Mosh (a ruined place towards the Tarik Mountains), its other branch, the northern one, is called the Toman. The united stream flows eastward, passing at 40 miles a small town called Faizabad, and after receiving the Aksoo stream joins the Yarkund River.
- 1935, P. S. Nazaroff, “Moved On!”, in (Please provide the book title or journal name), London: George Allen & Unwin, page 105:
- The road from Kashgar to Maral Bashi, Stag's Head, follows the plain, but the scenery is very varied. On leaving the Kashgar oasis and coming out into the waterless plain beyond Faizabad, on the far horizon, from a dead flat surface there stands out a mountain in the form of a lofty cone, like an isolated volcano, and it remains there unchanged all the way to the town of Maral Bashi, gradually increasing in size as one draws nearer, until it can be distinguished as an immense mountain mass cut by gorges and ravines, inviting by its wild, mysterious appearance, by the riddle of its position and by the loneliness and gloom of its naked rocks and defiles.
