Tashkurgan is a border management area, and a “Permit” must be obtained in advance before going there. At present, it can be applied for online through the “Xinjiang Public Security” WeChat mini-program, or handled at the Kashgar window. It is recommended to complete it 7–10 days before departure.
Plateau areas have strong ultraviolet rays and dry air; sunscreen, sunglasses, lip balm, and warm jackets should be prepared.
There are many tourists during the National Day period, and popular hotels are recommended to be booked more than one month in advance.
Although customized vehicle travel is flexible, long-distance driving places high physical demands on the driver. It is recommended that daily driving not exceed 6–7 hours to ensure safety.
🌄 Autumn in Southern Xinjiang is the tranquil blue of White Sand Lake, the golden light on the snowy peak of Muztagh Ata, and the mottled light and shadow under the old city walls of Kashgar. Rather than rushing to check in at attractions, it is better to slow down and, accompanied by a reliable vehicle and a driver familiar with the road conditions, carefully feel the vastness and tranquility of this land. Friends planning to travel during the 2027 National Day holiday may wish to plan early so the journey can start with ease.
