I. Detailed Introduction to the Route or Destination: A Double Feast of the Pamir Plateau and Tarim Basin
The 9-day Southern Xinjiang custom vehicle loop starts from Kashgar and connects natural wonders such as Tashkurgan Tajik Autonomous County (referred to as “Taxkorgan”), Panlong Ancient Road, Baisha Lake, and Karakul Lake, while also going deep into the Tarim Basin to visit poplar forests and villages of various ethnic groups. The route covers three core areas:
Pamir Plateau: Traveling along the China-Pakistan Friendship Highway (G314), the altitude gradually rises from 1,200 meters in Kashgar to 3,200 meters in Taxkorgan. Along the way, you can gaze at Muztagh Ata (7,546 meters), Kongur Tiube Peak, and other snow mountains, and check in at the “blue-white secret realm” Baisha Lake and the “black lake” Karakul Lake.
Taxkorgan Culture:Visit the Stone City ruins and Jincaotan Wetland, experience the eagle flute dance and handicrafts of various ethnic groups, and feel the philosophy of “today you have traveled all the winding roads, from now on life is all smooth sailing” among the 64 bends of Panlong Ancient Road.
