🏔 ️ Destination Introduction:Tashkurgan County
Tashkurgan County is located at the southwestern tip of Kashgar Prefecture in Xinjiang.

With an average altitude exceeding 3,000 meters, it boasts magnificent plateau scenery and profound cultural heritage.
Main attractions include (based on 2026 scenic area opening status and public information):
Golden Grass Beach:Located next to the Tashkurgan county seat, with interweaving light and shadow at sunrise, it is a frequent destination for photography enthusiasts. Free and open to the public, no admission ticket required.
Stone City Ruins:Adjacent to Golden Grass Beach, it is an important fortress ruin from the Tang to Qing dynasties and is now a nationally protected cultural heritage site. It remains open in 2026, and a valid ID is required for entry.

This point is not included in regular tour itineraries. Do not believe claims that “entry is possible.”
Panlong Ancient Road:“Having walked all the winding roads today, may the rest of life be smooth sailing” — this internet-famous road remains open to tourists in 2026 with good road conditions, suitable for customized car rental tours.
Bandir Blue Lake (Xiabandi Reservoir):The lake water shows a dreamy blue-green color, with abundant water in summer and pleasant scenery.

None of the above attractions require advance reservation, but a travel permit is required to enter Tashkurgan. Mainland tourists can apply for it free of charge at the public security authorities in their place of household registration or in Kashgar City, and the validity period usually covers the entire itinerary.
