In-depth Kashgar Tour:Official Custom Car Rental and Carpooling Guide (Including Real-Time Quotes and Itinerary Design)
[Why Choose a Custom Car Rental Tour in Kashgar?]
Kashgar, as the cultural center of southern Xinjiang, boasts three core scenic areas: the thousand-year-old ancient city, the Pamir Plateau, and the Taklimakan Desert. Compared to the fixed schedules of public transportation and the superficial experience of group tours, a custom car rental tour offers flexible connections between scattered attractions such as Kashgar Ancient City, Baisha Lake, Muztagh Ata, and the Winding Mountain Road, making it especially suitable for family trips, photography enthusiasts, and travelers seeking an in-depth experience. The local transportation policy for 2026 clearly states:Long-distance travel between counties and cities requires the use of vehicles with operational qualifications. Choosing a custom car rental from a licensed travel agency can avoid the risk of delays caused by inspections during the journey.

Must-visit attractions:
Baisha Lake:Known as the ‘Highland Sapphire’ at an altitude of 3,300 meters, the lake’s color changes from Tiffany blue to peacock green with the light.

Vehicles with more than 7 seats are prohibited.
