In border areas, original valid identification documents are required. Some sections have checkpoints; please cooperate with verification.
The temperature difference between day and night is large, so windproof and warm outerwear is needed even in summer.
Respect the living habits of local ethnic groups, travel civilly, and do not arbitrarily photograph people or folk culture venues.
Choosing a small group trip is not recommended just for sightseeing, but more for finding your own rhythm in the vast world. In 2027, why not set off from Kashgar and spend five days slowly walking into the light, shadows, and wind of the Pamir.
