🌄 Route highlights:Kashgar–Ta County core section of the southern Xinjiang loop
This route usually starts from Kashgar city and heads southwest along National Highway G314 (China-Pakistan Friendship Highway), passing Oytak Red Mountain, White Sand Lake, Karakul Lake, and the Muztagh Ata viewing platform, finally arriving at Tashkurgan county town. The total distance is about 300 kilometers, with driving time of about 6-7 hours (excluding stops along the way). Along the route, you can enjoy the majestic landforms where the Kunlun Mountains and the Pamir Plateau meet. In mid-to-late September, autumn colors gradually deepen, with snow-capped mountains reflected on the lake surface and meadows turning yellow, creating rich visual layers.
As China’s westernmost border county, Ta County has landmark attractions such as the Stone City ruins and Golden Grassland Wetland. Stone City was an important post station on the ancient Silk Road, with some city walls and watchtowers still extant; Golden Grassland, with its morning mist and traditional Tajik villages, forms picturesque scenery suitable for photography and leisurely exploration.

Current policy allows processing in Kashgar city or locally in Ta County; it is recommended to confirm the latest requirements before departure. Scenic area opening status is affected by weather and season. In case of heavy snowfall or icy roads, some sections may have temporary service guidance, so itinerary arrangements should remain flexible.
