Travelers who enjoy experience activities can also choose optional activities such as camel riding and desert off-roading. Continuing south to the Pamir section, the clear surface of Karakul Lake reflects the surrounding snow-capped mountains. The historical ruins of Stone City and the wetland scenery of Golden Grassland complement each other. After returning to Kashgar, the old city exudes a rich atmosphere of daily life, with distinctive shops and residential buildings along the streets well worth visiting.

In the northern Xinjiang section, wildflowers bloom successively by the lakeside of Sayram Lake after summer arrives, and the lake water is clear and transparent. Hemu and Kanas scenic areas have switched to summer operation mode in 2026, with opening and closing times from 8:00 to 20:00, and village shuttle buses running until 24:00.
