I. Detailed Introduction to Routes and Destinations: Unlock the “Triple Charm” of Southern Xinjiang
The travel experience in Southern Xinjiang can be summarized into three major themes: “culture, nature, and adventure.” The following three classic routes cover the core attractions of Southern Xinjiang and are suitable for travelers with different interests:
Route 1:Kashgar-Baisha Lake-Muztagh Ata-Tashkurgan (Pamir Plateau Route)
Kashgar Old City:As the cultural center of Southern Xinjiang, Kashgar Old City is a must-visit starting point. In 2026, the century-old teahouses and the Id Kah Mosque (visitable when there are no folk cultural activities) in the old city still retain a rich atmosphere of daily life among all ethnic groups.
Baisha Lake:Located beside National Highway 314, the lake presents a unique “white sand reflecting blue” landscape due to wind-blown sand accumulation. In 2026, the scenic area implements a “reservation-based entry” system with a daily limit of 2,000 people. It is recommended to have the travel agency assist with reservations in advance.
Muztagh Ata:The “Father of Ice Mountains” at an altitude of 7,546 meters. In 2026, the Karakul Lake scenic area added a viewing boardwalk, allowing close-up photography of the snow mountain reflections.
Tashkurgan:A small border town on the China-Pakistan border. The Stone City ruins and Golden Grassland Wetland are the core attractions. In 2026, the local ethnic folk villages opened “home visit experiences,” where visitors can participate in interactive activities such as naan baking and eagle flute performances.
