Kashgar, an ancient city with over two thousand years of history, is the cultural heart of Southern Xinjiang. Snow-capped mountains, lakes, deserts, and the ancient city intertwine here, creating a unique visual feast. In 2026, with the improvement of tourism infrastructure, the Kashgar Southern Xinjiang route has become a popular choice for in-depth travelers. This article will provide a detailed analysis of how to start a worry-free and wonderful Southern Xinjiang journey through a regular travel agency, from aspects such as route features, itinerary planning, vehicle model quotations, and cost descriptions.
I. Detailed introduction to the route or destination: the diverse charm of Southern Xinjiang
The tourism resources of Southern Xinjiang are driven by the dual core of “culture + nature,” covering three major core areas: Kashgar Ancient City, the Pamir Plateau, and the Taklamakan Desert:
Kashgar Ancient City:The largest existing raw-earth architectural complex, open all day in 2026 with no ticket required. The traditional bazaar every Sunday gathers specialty foods and handicrafts of various ethnic groups, and the singing and playing performances at the century-old teahouse are not to be missed.
Pamir Plateau: A permit must be obtained in advance. The recommended route is Kashgar—Baisha Lake—Karakul Lake—Muztagh Ata. Along the way, you can photograph the stunning scene of plateau lakes and snow-capped mountains in the same frame. The Stone City ruins and Golden Grassland in Tashkurgan Tajik Autonomous County (Taxkorgan County) are excellent places to experience the customs of the border region.
Taklamakan Desert:Cross the desert highway and experience the grandeur of the “Sea of Death.” The jade bazaar in the Hotan region, the Rawak Buddhist temple ruins, and the Kizil Thousand Buddha Caves in Aksu add a sense of historical depth to the journey.
Duku Highway:If time permits, you can extend to Northern Xinjiang and experience the three-dimensional scroll of “four seasons in one day.” In 2026, the Duku Highway implements a reservation access system, so advance planning is required.
