Southern Xinjiang, a land nourished by the Pamir Plateau, the Taklamakan Desert, and the Tarim River, is attracting more and more travelers with its unique natural wonders and thousand-year cultural heritage. In 2026, Southern Xinjiang tourism welcomes new changes: the Lunba Highway opens fully, the Pamir Plateau scenic area’s flow-control policy is optimized, the poplar forest viewing period is extended… This article will combine real-time data to explain for you the ways to play, costs, and booking methods of Southern Xinjiang customized small-group vehicle tours and loop routes.
I. Detailed introduction to routes or destinations: a symphony of nature and culture
[Pamir Plateau core area]
Baisha Lake:An all-year-open “desert pearl,” the lake water appears Tiffany blue due to mineral reflections, forming with the white sand mountains the wonder of “half desert, half sea.” In 2026 the scenic area adds viewing platforms and camping areas, where visitors can shoot stunning starry-sky photos.
Karakul Lake:Daily opening hours are 10:30-20:30, ticket 40 yuan/person (including insurance). The lake surface reflects the silhouette of Muztagh Ata, the “Father of Ice Mountains,” making it a must-visit spot for photography enthusiasts.
Panlong Ancient Road: a “internet-famous highway” with 68 hairpin turns, managed as a one-way route (east to west downhill), and passage time slots must be reserved via the “Pamir Tourism Area” official account. The slogan beside the road, “Today you’ve traveled all the winding roads, from now on life is all smooth sailing,” has become a popular backdrop for tourists’ photos.
[Taklamakan Desert hinterland]
Taklamakan Desert Highway: the world’s longest drifting-desert highway, with viewing platforms and camping areas added at service areas. In 2026, visitors can choose to camp at the desert’s edge and experience the grandeur of “vast desert with lonely smoke rising straight.” Note: speed limits apply on desert sections, and vehicle fuel and tire conditions must be checked in advance to avoid driving during the high-temperature midday period.
Luntai Poplar Forest Park:Mid-to-late October to early November is the excellent viewing period, when the golden poplar forest and the tree-tunnel road form a “time tunnel” effect. The scenic area implements a flow-control reservation system, and reservations must be made in advance through the platform.
[Ancient cities and cultural settlements]

In-depth exploration of Southern Xinjiang: an immersive experience guide to customized small-group vehicle tours and loop routes🚗✨Kashgar Ancient City:One of the largest surviving traditional residential settlements, with crisscrossing streets and alleys, and earthen walls and wooden windows retaining a century of lived-in traces.
