The core highlight of Kashgar tourism lies in the dual experience of “ancient city culture + plateau scenery.” In 2026, the local area has developed multiple mature travel routes covering core attractions such as Kashgar Ancient City, Pamir Plateau, Baisha Lake, Karakul Lake, and Panlong Ancient Road, suitable for tourists with different needs:
Kashgar Ancient City cultural route: Centered on Kashgar Ancient City, connecting attractions such as Id Kah Square, Xiangfei Garden, and Gaotai Residences, allowing visitors to experience the traditional architectural art and life wisdom of various ethnic groups. The ancient city holds a city-opening ceremony every day, where tourists can watch song and dance performances by people of all ethnic groups up close and experience intangible cultural heritage projects such as naan baking and pottery making.
Pamir Plateau adventure route:Follow the China-Pakistan Friendship Highway (G314 National Highway) deep into the plateau, passing natural wonders such as Baisha Lake, Muztagh Ata, and Karakul Lake, check in at the “internet-famous” Panlong Ancient Road, and photograph the road sign reading “Today you have traveled all the winding roads, from now on life is a smooth path.” The plateau section requires an advance permit, and some areas are over 3,000 meters above sea level, so carrying an oxygen cylinder is recommended.
