I. Detailed Introduction to the Route or Destination: A Double Feast of the Pamir Plateau and the Taklamakan
The loop from Kashgar to Taxkorgan in Southern Xinjiang connects three major geographical units—the Pamir Plateau, the Taklamakan Desert, and the Tarim River Valley—and covers core attractions such as Kashgar Old City, Baisha Lake, Muztagh Ata, Panlong Ancient Road, and the Taklamakan Desert Highway.
Pamir Plateau section: The average altitude exceeds 3,500 meters. Along the China-Pakistan Friendship Highway are distributed the “Three Plateau Scenic Spots” of Baisha Lake, Karakul Lake, and Muztagh Ata. In mid-October, the lake water reflects snow-capped mountains and golden meadows, forming a golden period for photography. The wonder of Baisha Lake’s “half lake water, half sand” and the reflection of Muztagh Ata in Karakul Lake are both must-visit photo spots.
Taklamakan Desert section: Crossing the world’s second-largest shifting desert, the 520-kilometer desert highway (Minfeng to Qiemo section) has become a popular check-in spot in recent years. There are 4 viewing platforms along the way, where you can photograph desert and poplar forest in the same frame. In October, the poplar forest turns golden yellow, creating a strong visual contrast with the desert.
Tarim River Valley section:Lop Nur People Village and the Tarim River cruise project showcase the ecological wonder of a “desert oasis.” The traditional dwellings of various ethnic groups in the village complement the sparkling waves of the Tarim River. The cruise project takes about 40 minutes one way and requires advance reservation.
Kashgar Old City:As an “open-air museum without walls,” intangible cultural heritage skills such as blacksmithing and pottery making on Craftsman Street can be observed up close. Rose tea with naan at the century-old teahouse is a must-try combination for experiencing local life.
