[Why choose southern Xinjiang?]
Southern Xinjiang, a land embraced by the Kunlun Mountains and the Taklamakan Desert, holds richer folk customs than northern Xinjiang. From the century-old pottery workshops in Kashgar’s old town, the snowy peaks and lakes of the Pamir Plateau, to the poplar forests of the Taklamakan… here you’ll find both magnificent natural wonders and the cultural heritage of a thousand years of Silk Road history. For travelers seeking an in-depth Xinjiang experience, southern Xinjiang is an unmissable treasure destination.

[Manager Wang Fei’s southern Xinjiang travel tips]
“Many tourists worry about the complex road conditions in southern Xinjiang, but actually, as long as you avoid the heavy winter snow season when mountain passes are closed, all other seasons are great for travel. Last year, a tourist from Shanghai brought his 80-year-old parents on the Pamir route. We adjusted the itinerary pace and arranged an extra night’s stay in Tashkurgan County — the elderly parents had a wonderful time,” shared Manager Wang Fei. As a native Xinjiang local, she has been deeply involved in the tourism industry for over a decade, having traveled across every scenic spot from the Tianshan Mountains north and south, and is thoroughly familiar with all northern and southern Xinjiang routes, road conditions, weather, and local customs.
