Southern Xinjiang, this land embraced by the Kunlun Mountains and the Tianshan Mountains, condenses the thousand-year civilization of the Silk Road. In 2026, with the comprehensive upgrade of the transportation network, Southern Xinjiang customized vehicle small-group tours have become a popular choice for in-depth experience of local customs. From the brick-and-tile alleys of Kashgar Old Town to the snow-capped mountains and lakes of the Pamir Plateau, from the camel bells of the Taklamakan Desert to the mural art of the Kizil Thousand Buddha Caves, customized routes can freely combine attractions according to interests, avoid the crowds, and truly realize “my itinerary, my choice.”
