As the 2027 National Day holiday approaches, many tourists planning in-depth tours of southern Xinjiang have begun to pay attention to transportation arrangements for the Kashgar–Tashkurgan loop.

🌄 Detailed introduction to the route or destination
The Kashgar–Tashkurgan loop is one of the popular autumn travel routes in southern Xinjiang, about 600 kilometers in total, usually arranged as a 3–5 day itinerary. The route starts from Kashgar, passes through Baisha Lake, Muztagh Ata, and Karakul Lake, reaches Tashkurgan Tajik Autonomous County (referred to as “Tashkurgan”), and then returns to Kashgar either by the same route or via the Yarkant River Valley. The scenery along the way is diverse, covering plateau lakes, snow-capped mountains and glaciers, river valley meadows, and border landscapes.
During the 2027 National Day period (October 1–7), the climate in this area is generally suitable for travel, with daytime temperatures of about 5–18°C and nighttime temperatures possibly dropping below 0°C, so cold-weather clothing should be prepared. As for scenic areas, Baisha Lake, Karakul Lake, Golden Grassland, and the Stone City ruins are normally open, but specific opening status is still subject to dynamic changes based on daily weather and management requirements. Traveling to Tashkurgan requires a permit in advance, which can be applied for in Kashgar city or at the household registration location in the place of departure.
