Welcome to Fergana!
Ferghana is a city in the Ferghana Valley in Uzbekistan. A pass from Kashgar, now in China's westernmost province, Xinjiang, to Ferghana was an important link on the main course of the historic Silk Road. From Ferghana, westbound caravans would proceed along the Ferghana valley to Kokand (where they might branch off toward Tashkent) and Khujand, then continue toward Samarkand.
Fergana (Uzbek: Fargʻona/Фарғона) or Ferghana, is the capital of Fergana Region in eastern Uzbekistan. Fergana is about 420 km east of Tashkent, about 75 km west of Andijan, and less than 20 km from the Kyrgyzstan border. While the area has been populated for thousands of years, the modern city was founded in 1876.
