Hotan, located on the southern edge of the Taklimakan Desert, is renowned as the “City of Jade.” This itinerary takes you to the source of Hotan jade—the Yurungkash River—to witness the traditional skills of jade miners. Heading north along the desert highway, the golden dunes of the Taklimakan shimmer under the sunlight as off-road vehicles navigate through, resembling a flowing oil painting. In autumn, the golden poplar forests contrast with the vast desert, creating stunning photo opportunities.
