Southern Xinjiang, this land embraced by the Pamir Plateau, the Taklamakan Desert and the Kunlun Mountains, is the most brilliant pearl on the Silk Road. Here there is both the lively atmosphere of the thousand-year-old city of Kashgar and the magnificent snow mountains of the Pamir Plateau in Tashkurgan County; there are both the murals of the Kizil Thousand Buddha Caves telling of Western Regions’ past and the blue waters of Baisha Lake reflecting blue skies and white clouds.
