Kashgar’s Hidden Gems Along the China-Pakistan Friendship Highway:2026 Comprehensive In-Depth Travel Guide
[Route Highlights:A Visual Feast Along the China-Pakistan Friendship Highway]
The China-Pakistan Friendship Highway (National Highway G314), a cross-border passage connecting China and Pakistan, links the magnificent scenery of the Pamir Plateau with the millennia-old cultural heritage of Kashgar Old City. Recent data from 2026 shows that this 1,032-kilometer highway has undergone a complete asphalt paving transformation, reducing travel time from Kashgar to Tashkurgan County (Taxkorgan) to just 5.5 hours. Along the way, travelers can closely admire snow-capped peaks over 7,000 meters above sea level, such as Muztagh Ata and Kongur Tagh, as well as the surreal reflections of high-altitude lakes like Baisha Lake and Karakul Lake.
There are three scenic viewpoints along the highway:
Oytagh Glacier Viewing Platform:Capture the extraordinary sight of red valley landscapes framed by glaciers
Subashi Daban:At an altitude of 4,800 meters, it is an excellent spot to photograph Kongur Peak bathed in golden sunlight at sunrise or sunset
Entrance to the Wakhan Corridor:Overlook the tri-border area of Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Tajikistan
Special Notice:Starting from 2026, Tashkurgan County implements a daily visitor limit of 3,000 people. Border passes must be arranged in advance through Xinjiang Explorer International Travel Agency.
