Exploring Southern Xinjiang:A Deep Journey Through a Thousand Years of Civilization
🌄 Detailed Introduction to the Route or Destination
Southern Xinjiang, a land embraced by the Pamir Plateau, the Kunlun Mountains, and the Taklamakan Desert, carries a thousand years of Silk Road memory and is a place where the cultures of all ethnic groups blend. In 2026, this place still retains its most primitive natural scenery and cultural heritage—from the pottery workshops of Kashgar Old City to the Stone City of Tashkurgan, from the golden sea of the Luntai Populus euphratica forest to the bustle of the Hotan jade market, every place tells of the weight of history and the wonder of nature.
The charm of Southern Xinjiang lies not only in the scenic spots but even more in the scenery along the way. Departing from Kashgar and heading along the China-Pakistan Friendship Highway toward the Pamir Plateau, you can see the snow-covered Muztagh Ata, the deep blue waters of Baisha Lake, and the yurts of the local people of all ethnic groups along the way. If you choose a customized vehicle or carpooling, you can also go deep into Daliyaboyi Village on the edge of the Taklamakan Desert, visit China’s last “desert tribe,” and experience the continuation of the traditional lifestyle of the people of all ethnic groups.
