I. Detailed Route or Destination Introduction: The “Snow Mountain and Lake Corridor” of the Pamir Plateau
The 280-kilometer loop from Kashgar to Tashkurgan County (Tashkurgan) connects the core natural and cultural landscapes of southern Xinjiang. This route is known as the “Snow Mountain and Lake Corridor.” Along the way, you can view the blue-and-white contrast of Baisha Lake, the reflection of Muztagh Ata in Karakul Lake, the 64 hairpin turns of Panlong Ancient Road, and the Stone City ruins in areas where people of all ethnic groups live. 2026 data shows that the altitude along this route ranges from 1,300 meters (Kashgar) to 4,500 meters (Muztagh Ata Glacier Park), so altitude sickness should be noted.
Core attractions:
Baisha Lake:No admission ticket in 2026. The white sand dunes along the lake shore form a strong visual contrast with the turquoise water. The best photography time is before 10 a.m.
Karakul Lake:Admission 50 yuan/person. The lake surface is at an altitude of 3,600 meters, and you can view Muztagh Ata (altitude 7,546 meters) up close. In 2026, a glacier hiking experience is newly added (the last section can be done on horseback, about 80 yuan/person).
