Whether chasing the snow mountain reflections of the Pamir Plateau or strolling through the century-old teahouses of Kashgar Ancient City, every scenery in Southern Xinjiang hides a story.

I. Detailed Introduction to Routes or Destinations: A Symphonic Poem of Nature and Culture
The core of travel in Southern Xinjiang lies in the “sense of contrast”—one second you are at the foot of the snow mountains of the Pamir Plateau marveling at the magnificence of nature, and the next second you are in a century-old teahouse in Kashgar Ancient City, listening to elderly people of various ethnic groups playing the rawap. In 2026, mainstream routes are mainly “8-12 day in-depth tours,” covering three major themes:

Karakul Lake is open from 10:30 to 20:30, and visitors need to take the scenic area shuttle bus to enter; from the lakeside, you can gaze at Kongur Tiube Peak in the distance.

The city-opening ceremonies at 10:00 and 18:00 daily showcase traditional songs, dances, and handicrafts of various ethnic groups. The reference ticket price for Xiangfei Garden is 120 yuan/person; it is recommended to photograph the city-opening ceremony in the early morning.

Practical Tips:

Clothing Suggestions:The temperature difference between day and night in Southern Xinjiang is large. In summer, bring a windbreaker; in winter, prepare extreme cold gear. The Pamir Plateau is at a high altitude, so windproof and warm equipment is recommended.
Photography Equipment:For the desert highway, it is recommended to bring a polarizing filter to reduce reflections; for the Pamir Plateau, a telephoto lens is needed. Drone flights are prohibited at the Muji Crater; violators will be included in the tourism credit blacklist.
Health Protection:In the summer of 2026, the average daily temperature in Southern Xinjiang is 30-38°C, so carry heatstroke prevention supplies such as Huoxiang Zhengqi water. For accommodation in Tashkurgan, confirm the operating status of oxygen supply equipment in advance; those with severe altitude sickness should descend immediately.
