Southern Xinjiang, this land embraced by the Pamir Plateau and nourished by the Taklamakan Desert, has both the cultural accumulation of the thousand-year Silk Road and magnificent natural wonders. In 2026, with the optimization of transportation networks and the upgrading of tourism services, Southern Xinjiang customized vehicle small-group tours have become an ideal way to deeply experience this land. Whether tracing historical relics, visiting villages of various ethnic groups, or immersing yourself in the superb scenery of snow-capped mountains, deserts, and lakes, customized vehicle travel can make the itinerary freer and the experience more private. Below, from aspects such as route design, itinerary arrangement, and cost explanation, we will explain in detail the charm of Southern Xinjiang customized vehicle small-group tours.

Route One:Kashgar—Tashkurgan—Pamir Plateau (5-7 days)
This route centers on the “plateau highland” Pamir Plateau and connects landmark attractions such as Kashgar Old City, Baisha Lake, Muztagh Ata, Karakul Lake, and the Stone City.
