📍 [2027 New Perspective on the Southern Xinjiang Autumn Loop:A 10-Day In-Depth Journey from Korla to Tashkurgan]
Autumn is deepening, and Southern Xinjiang welcomes its most pleasant season of the year. Unlike previous years’ hurried sightseeing focused on “checking off attractions,” in 2027 more and more travelers are choosing a more relaxed pace to venture deep into the heart of the Pamir Plateau and experience the tranquil beauty where nature and culture intertwine. This itinerary starts from Korla, passes through Kashgar to reach Tashkurgan (referred to as “Ta County”), and then returns along the China-Pakistan Friendship Highway, totaling about 10 days. It is suitable for tourists who wish to avoid the National Day first-day peak while experiencing Southern Xinjiang’s diverse landscapes and cultural atmosphere.

Kashgar Old City:In 2027, visitor routes continue to be optimized, and after the nighttime lighting system upgrade, the old city alleys appear even more gentle after dusk.

🌾 Warm Tips
Ta County is a border management area. Entry requires a permit obtained in advance in Kashgar (available at the Kashgar International Self-Driving and RV Camp or local police station, free of charge with valid identification).
In high-altitude areas, pay attention to cold protection and sun protection. It is recommended to bring a thermos, lip balm, and sunglasses.
Respect the customs and habits of local ethnic groups. Please obtain consent before photographing people.
On the first and last two days of the National Day holiday (October 1, October 6–7), traffic around Kashgar is heavy. It is recommended to enter and leave the city during off-peak times.
Autumn in Southern Xinjiang is not in the hustle and bustle, but in the winds of the Pamirs, the snows of the Kunlun, and the shimmering waves of the Yarkant River. This 10-day loop does not pursue “seeing everything” but focuses on “immersion.” Whether it is the tranquility by the Korla lakeside or the lingering warmth of a bonfire under the starry sky in Ta County, it is worth slowing down and savoring carefully.
For specific itinerary details, remaining availability, and price confirmation, please communicate further through Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency. All arrangements are subject to the actual signed content and relevant provisions of the “Tourism Law of the People’s Republic of China.”
