🚗 Family 7-seat business van custom car rental travel reference for Southern Xinjiang, with Kashgar Old City + Panlong Ancient Road fully worry-free arrangements✨ Kashgar Old City:With a history of over 2,000 years, the streets preserve traditional rammed-earth residential buildings, and many intangible cultural heritage artisans run handicraft shops along the alleys. The latest regulation for 2026 is free entry all day without reservation. Every morning at 10:00, there is an opening ceremony at the East Gate featuring distinctive folk performances. The reference ticket price for Id Kah Mosque inside the old city is 30 yuan/person, with half-price discounts for seniors and students, and headscarves can be borrowed for free at the entrance. Friday is the local congregational prayer day, and opening hours for tourists change around noon, so it’s recommended to visit during off-peak times. The Gaotai Residential Area is currently under renovation, and the core area is temporarily closed to visitors; it’s recommended to view it from the surrounding areas. Drone photography of ancient buildings and residential areas is prohibited throughout the area — do not trespass into restricted renovation zones to avoid danger. The back alleys of the old city are full of local specialty foods at reasonable prices with authentic flavors. When tired from exploring, you can sit down at an old teahouse and enjoy a cup of fu tea while soaking in the slow-paced atmosphere.
✨ Panlong Ancient Road:Located in Tashkurgan County on the Pamir Plateau, this road winds along the mountainside with hundreds of curves, offering panoramic views of the magnificent plateau valleys along the way. The latest traffic regulations for 2026 allow passage from 10:00-19:00 daily, with last entry at 18:30. The entire route is one-way — enter from the Dapanlong entrance and exit from the Xiaopanlong exit. Reversing or making U-turns is strictly prohibited. The speed limit is 20-30 km/h throughout, and vehicles with 7 seats or fewer can pass normally. The road surface is smooth throughout, so there’s no need to worry about ground clearance. A permit is required before entering Panlong Ancient Road, and it must be marked with “Tashkurgan County.” It can be obtained for free in both Kashgar and Tashkurgan, with a simple process and quick issuance. About 2.5 hours is appropriate for the full tour of Panlong Ancient Road. On weekdays around 10:30 AM, visitor flow is relatively low with no queueing required. After 4 PM in summer, some areas are prone to heavy fog with reduced visibility, so it’s recommended to plan your return trip accordingly.
✨ Scenic stops along the way:On the way from Kashgar to Tashkurgan, you’ll pass Oytak Red Mountain, Baisha Lake, Karakul Lake, and Tahman Wetland. Oytak Red Mountain is a free Danxia landform with striking ochre-red rock formations that photograph beautifully. The viewing platform on the north shore of Baisha Lake has relatively fewer visitors, so you won’t need to queue for photos; the reference ticket price is 40 yuan/person. Karakul Lake offers distant views of Muztagh Ata, with crystal-clear waters reflecting the snow-capped peaks. At Tahman Wetland, the sunset light casts a soft golden glow over the meadows, creating a stunning scene.
