5-Day In-Depth Tour of Kashgar in Southern Xinjiang:A Visual Feast of Muztagata Peak and the Pamir Plateau
✨ Itinerary Highlights and Destination Details
The 5-day itinerary in Kashgar, Southern Xinjiang, centers around “snow-capped mountains, lakes, and a cultural ancient city,” connecting three iconic landscapes of the Pamir Plateau:Muztagata Peak, Karakul Lake, and Baisha Lake, paired with intangible cultural heritage experiences in Kashgar’s ancient city, creating a dual immersive experience of “nature + culture.”
Muztagata Peak: Known as the “Father of Ice Mountains” at an elevation of 7,509 meters, its glaciers showcase a blue-green gradient in sunlight, with mountain folds resembling giant dragon scales. The best viewing spot is on the east shore of Karakul Lake. In 2026, the glacier park’s operating hours will be extended to 10:00-17:00 daily, allowing visitors to observe ice fissures and ice towers up close along wooden walkways.
Karakul Lake:This plateau lake displays multiple colors from deep blue to emerald green due to mineral content, with the lake’s surface reflecting Muztagata Peak and Kongur Tagh, creating the “Twin Peaks Reflected on the Lake” spectacle. In 2026, the scenic area will introduce an electric cart service around the lake, taking about 15 minutes for a one-way trip and covering three viewing platforms.
Baisha Lake:Known as the “Desert Pearl” beside National Highway G314, its silver-white sand dunes contrast sharply with the azure lake. In 2026, the scenic area will add a white yak riding project, with a 1.2-kilometer route along the lakeshore guided by professional handlers.
Kashgar Ancient City: As a key town on the Silk Road, the city retains 21 original streets and 13 century-old residences. In 2026, the upgraded “Ancient City Intangible Cultural Heritage Experience Center” will open eight intangible cultural heritage projects, including pottery making and cotton fabric dyeing, with free guided tours available from 10:00-18:00 daily.
