I. Detailed introduction to the route or destination: Through a thousand years of civilization and natural wonders
Southern Xinjiang, a land accounting for one-sixth of China’s land area, takes the Pamir Plateau as its backbone and links four major geographical units: the Taklamakan Desert, the Tarim River Valley, and the southern foothills of the Tianshan Mountains. In 2026, this is not only a paradise for photography enthusiasts but also a popular destination for family trips and cultural exploration. From the lively atmosphere of Kashgar Old Town to the tranquil icy realm of Muztagh Ata, from the Tiffany blue of Baisha Lake to the 600 bends of Panlong Ancient Road, every step is a deep interpretation of Silk Road charm.
[Core landscape highlights]
Pamir Plateau: Known as the “roof of the high plateau,” driving along the China-Pakistan Friendship Highway offers distant views of Muztagh Ata (elevation 7546 meters), picnics by Karakul Lake, and the grandeur of the “Father of Ice Mountains.” In 2026, the Pamir Tourist Area (including Stone City and Golden Grassland) ticket is 120 yuan per person (including shuttle bus), with opening hours extended to 20:00 (summer).
Kashgar Old Town:This living thousand-year-old city has maze-like alleys hiding century-old teahouses, the Id Kah Mosque, and Xiangfei Garden. Strolling through it, you can listen to elderly people of all ethnic groups play the rawap, watch artisans make earthenware, and taste gangzi rou (meat cooked in a ceramic mug) and handmade ice cream.
Baisha Lake and Bandir Blue Lake:The silvery white beach of Baisha Lake and its turquoise water create a strong visual impact, while Bandir Blue Lake presents a deep blue due to mineral reflection, suitable for aerial photography.
