I. Detailed introduction to the route or destination
[Kashgar Ancient City:A living museum of the Western Regions over a thousand years]
As the soul of Southern Xinjiang, Kashgar Ancient City is famous for its unique “rammed earth architecture” and maze-like streets and alleys. At the city-opening ceremonies at 10:30 and 18:00 every day, people of all ethnic groups wear traditional costumes and welcome tourists with singing and dancing. Strolling through the ancient city, you can visit the Id Kah Mosque (entry allowed outside folk-custom experience times) and feel the solemnity of the architecture; order a pot of Fu tea at a century-old teahouse and listen to old artists play the rawap; in the craftsmen’s bazaar (handicraft street), pottery artisans and coppersmiths demonstrate their crafts on site, bringing intangible cultural heritage within reach.
[Pamir Plateau:A paradise for mountaineers and photographers]
Starting from Kashgar and heading west along the China-Pakistan Friendship Highway (G314), you will pass through the wonder of White Sand Lake (elevation 3,300 meters) where “sand mountains and lake waters dance together,” and wait quietly by Karakul Lake (elevation 3,600 meters) for the reflection of Muztagh Ata (the “Father of Ice Mountains”). Continuing to Tashkurgan County, the Stone City ruins and Golden Grassland Wetland (combined ticket 70 yuan/person) will take you back to the prosperity of the ancient Silk Road. The sign on the Panlong Ancient Road (64 hairpin turns) reading “Today you have traveled all the winding roads, from now on life will be smooth sailing” has become a popular check-in spot.
[Taklamakan Desert:An adventure through the vast sea of sand]
