Kashgar Short-Distance Group Custom Vehicle Tour:2026 In-Depth Experience Guide
🌄 [Comprehensive Analysis of Routes and Destinations]
Kashgar, as the core hub of tourism in southern Xinjiang, connects high-quality landscapes such as the Pamir Plateau, the Tasha Ancient Road, and Baisha Lake. Recent data for 2026 shows that local short-distance custom vehicle tours are developed along the dual themes of “culture and nature,” covering three core areas:
I. Kashgar Old City Cultural Circle
It includes 12 historical sites such as Id Kah Square, Gaotai Residential Area, and Xiangfei Garden. In 2026, a new project called “Century-Old Teahouse Intangible Cultural Heritage Experience” will be added. The alleys within the old city are crisscrossed, and it is recommended to choose a 7-seat business vehicle to travel through them to avoid scraping due to the low chassis of 5-seat cars.
II. Pamir Plateau Scenic Zone
Extending along the China-Pakistan Friendship Highway (G314), passing through:
▶ Baisha Lake:The lake water changes between blue and white with the light. A new viewing boardwalk will be added from May 2026.
▶ Karakul Lake:An excellent spot for photographing the reflection of Muztagh Ata. The light is optimal from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM daily.
▶ Panlong Ancient Road:64 hairpin turns form the internet-famous road sign “Today I’ve traveled all the winding roads.” In 2026, an odd-even license plate restriction policy will be implemented (subject to daily traffic control).
III. Tasha Ancient Road Secret Route
This thousand-year-old road connects:
▶ Bandir Blue Lake:A newly popular check-in spot in 2026, with lake water in Tiffany blue.
▶ Datong Township Apricot Blossom Village:The flowering period is from late March to early April (may vary due to climate).
▶ Shache Intangible Cultural Heritage Town:You can watch the Twelve Mukam performances and participate in pottery-making experiences.
