Exploring the Pearl of the Silk Road:In-Depth Cultural Experience and Half-Day Tour Guide to Kashgar’s Xiangfei Garden
✨ [Route Highlights:A Legendary Journey Spanning Three Centuries]
Located in the Hohan Township, 5 kilometers northeast of Kashgar City, the Kashgar Xiangfei Garden Scenic Area covers over 300 acres after its expansion in 2020. It is a national 4A-rated scenic spot integrating historical exploration, folk culture experience, and architectural aesthetics. This is not just the family mausoleum of Emperor Qianlong’s Xiangfei (Fragrant Concubine); it also preserves a representative architectural complex from Central Asia—the main tomb’s dome has a diameter of 17 meters, and its exterior walls are adorned with dark green glazed tiles that create a blue-green gradient effect under sunlight, earning it the title ‘Architectural Miracle of Central Asia.’
The scenic area recreates historical scenes through five thematic sections:
Xiangfei Welcome Ceremony:From 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM daily, a song and dance drama performed by people from various ethnic groups takes place at the scenic area entrance, with actors in traditional costumes depicting the story of Xiangfei entering the palace
