Southern Xinjiang 10-Day Tour 2-6 Person Carpooling Small Group Travel Guide:Spacious small vehicle seats, say goodbye to long-distance fatigue, travel more comfortably
🌄 Detailed introduction to the route or destination
Southern Xinjiang, this land embraced by the Kunlun Mountains and the Taklamakan Desert, is an important node of the ancient Silk Road and a living museum of cultural blending among various ethnic groups. Here there are both snow-capped mountains and lakes of the Pamir Plateau and the vast sand seas of the Taklamakan Desert; both the thousand-year lively atmosphere of Kashgar Old City and the simple customs of various ethnic villages. In 2026, tourism supporting facilities in Southern Xinjiang continue to upgrade. The newly opened solar streetlights along the desert highway, the expanded Hotan Night Market, and the newly added Keziliya Canyon hiking route make this land even more worthy of in-depth exploration.

Relaxed itinerary design:Daily driving time is controlled within 4 hours, leaving ample time for photos and rest, avoiding a rushed tour.
