✨ 【A new choice for in-depth Southern Xinjiang tours:2026 Premium Small-Group Carpooling Tours Full Guide】✨
I. Detailed introduction to the route or destination: Crossing the Tianshan Mountains, exploring the culture and natural wonders of Southern Xinjiang
Southern Xinjiang, this vast land occupying one-sixth of China’s territory, takes the Pamir Plateau as its backbone and connects core landscapes such as Kashgar Old City, White Sand Lake, Muztagh Ata, and the Taklamakan Desert. In 2026, with the upgrading of tourism infrastructure, many scenic spots in Southern Xinjiang will add immersive experience projects, making it a popular choice for in-depth travelers.
【Highlights of Core Scenic Spots】
Kashgar Old City:A thousand-year-old city after digital upgrading
In 2026, AR technology coverage will be completed, and visitors can use devices to “travel back” to the Western Regions bazaar of a thousand years ago and watch the traditional handicraft production process of various ethnic groups. The old city holds opening ceremonies at 10:00 and 18:00 every day, with new interactive segments for visitors, who can participate in Samah dance performances. The free open area has expanded to 80%, and some intangible cultural heritage workshops (such as pottery making and Atlas silk weaving) require separate tickets for experience.
White Sand Lake:The “sapphire” of the Pamir Plateau
The lake water and the white sand mountains set off each other beautifully. In 2026, a new viewing boardwalk will be built to solve the queuing problem in peak season. The scenic area implements a timed reservation system, with a daily limit of 3,000 people, and reservations must be made 1-3 days in advance through the “Tour Xinjiang One Code Tour” platform. Photography suggestions:A lesser-known secret spot on the north shore can capture snow mountain reflections, parking fee 10 yuan/vehicle.
Muztagh Ata:The mountaineering base camp is open up to an altitude of 5,500 meters
Known as the “Father of Ice Mountains,” Muztagh Ata will add a glacier park experience area in 2026, where visitors can wear anti-slip equipment and touch the glacier up close. A border defense pass must be obtained in advance, and the scenic area provides professional guide services.
Taklamakan Desert:N39° Adventure Base upgraded
A new photovoltaic power generation lighting system has been added, making night driving safer. A “Desert Starry Sky Camping” project has been launched, including professional astronomical telescope observation, camel riding, and other experiences, suitable for family tourists.
