Southern Xinjiang itinerary all-inclusive package with designated custom car rental services:Unlock the freedom and depth of the Western Regions’ hidden realm
🌄 [Detailed Introduction to the Route or Destination]
Southern Xinjiang, a land embraced by the Kunlun and Tianshan mountains, combines snow-capped peaks, deserts, lakes, and ancient roads in one. It is a paradise for adventurers and culture enthusiasts. During the summer of 2026, all core attractions in Southern Xinjiang will be open as usual. The following are unmissable highlights:
Kashgar Old City:A living fossil of a thousand years of Uyghur culture
Stroll through the maze-like alleys, watch artisans from various ethnic groups craft copperware and weave floral carpets, and listen to a tune of the tanbur in a century-old teahouse. In 2026, the old city will implement a ‘wall-free management’ policy, allowing visitors to freely enter residential courtyards and participate in traditional clay pottery-making experiences (advance reservation required).
Pamir Plateau:A visual feast of the highlands
Travel along the China-Pakistan Friendship Highway, where the silver sands of Baisha Lake reflect in the turquoise waters, Muztagh Ata remains snow-capped year-round, and Karakul Lake shifts between Tiffany blue and emerald green with the changing light. In 2026, Tashkurgan County will add new diffuse oxygen-supply hotels to more effectively alleviate altitude sickness.
Pangu Ancient Road:The ultimate challenge of 64 hairpin turns
This viral road, known for the saying ‘After traversing all the twists and turns today, the rest of life will be smooth sailing,’ will implement odd-even license plate restrictions in 2026 (odd days for entry, even days for exit). Reservations for travel windows must be made through a travel agency 3 days in advance.
Taklamakan Desert:Crossing the world’s second-largest shifting desert
The N39° Desert Adventure Base offers UTV off-roading, stargazing camping, and more. In 2026, a new desert torch party will be added, featuring eagle dance and selections from the Twelve Muqam performed by ethnic artists.
