Documents:
Valid Identification:Frequent checks are conducted in Xinjiang, so valid identification is highly recommended as a pass. Be sure to carry it with you at all times.

It is advisable to apply in advance at your place of residence, specifying “Kashgar Region” or “All Xinjiang.” Alternatively, you can apply with valid identification at the Government Service Center in Kashgar city, but be prepared for queues and longer processing times.
Clothing:
Kashgar experiences significant temperature variations between day and night. In summer (July), the average daily temperature ranges from 22-38°C, so prepare 2 breathable short-sleeved shirts, 2 thin sun-protective jackets, and 2 windproof outerwear.
The Pamir Plateau is at a high altitude, so even in summer, bring a fleece jacket or thin down jacket to prepare for sudden temperature drops.
A sun hat, sunglasses, SPF50+ sunscreen, and lip balm are recommended to cope with strong UV rays and dry climate.
