Starting with an icon ✨ [South Xinjiang customized vehicle no-shopping itinerary small group:An in-depth cultural and natural journey starting and ending in Kashgar] ✨
South Xinjiang, this land embraced by the Kunlun Mountains and the Taklamakan Desert, hides a thousand years of Silk Road civilization and magnificent natural wonders. From the lively atmosphere of Kashgar Old City to the vast snow mountains of the Pamir Plateau, from the sapphire lake surface of Baisha Lake to the 600 bends of Panlong Ancient Road, this place is not only a paradise for photographers but also an ideal destination for family trips and cultural explorers. In 2026, choosing a customized vehicle no-shopping itinerary small group allows you to flexibly control the itinerary, avoid crowded tourist spots, and deeply experience the diverse charm of South Xinjiang.
1. Route highlights: From the old city to the plateau, unlock the core landscapes of South Xinjiang
[Kashgar Old City] — A living thousand-year history book
As a well-preserved labyrinth-style ancient city in China, the earth-yellow building clusters and crisscrossing alleys of Kashgar Old City form a unique visual symbol. It is recommended to watch the city-opening ceremony at 9 a.m., follow artisans to visit pottery workshops and copper shops, order a pot of herbal tea at a century-old teahouse, and listen to elderly people of all ethnic groups play the rawap. In 2026, a new “Artisans’ Bazaar” will be added in the old city, where you can observe traditional leather shoe making and Atlas silk weaving up close.
[Pamir Plateau] — A secret realm on the high plateau
Driving along the China-Pakistan Friendship Highway (G314), you will pass through the Oytak Red Mountain Canyon, Baisha Lake (the lake water appears Tiffany blue due to mineral content), and Karakul Lake (an excellent spot for photographing the reflection of Muztagh Ata). In 2026, the Pamir Tourist Area ticket will change to 120 yuan per person (including shuttle bus), opening hours will be extended to 20:00 (summer), and a new hiking route in Muztagh Glacier Park will be added (non-slip shoes required).
[Panlong Ancient Road] — A philosophical metaphor for life’s winding roads

Starting with an icon ✨ [South Xinjiang customized vehicle no-shopping itinerary small group: an in-depth cultural and natural journey starting and ending in Kashgar] ✨This 64-kilometer road is famous for more than 600 hairpin bends. The slogan at the top of the mountain, “Today you have walked all the winding roads, from now on life is a smooth path,” has become a popular check-in spot. In 2026, self-driving vehicles will be restricted from entering the scenic area, and visitors must take unified sightseeing buses (ticket 80 yuan per person). It is recommended to go in the early morning to avoid tour groups.
[Shache Old City] — A more original Silk Road atmosphere than Kashgar
The blue tile dome of the Yarkand Khan Palace and the Twelve Muqam reliefs of the Amannisahan Memorial Mausoleum tell the musical genes of this land. In 2026, the Shache Intangible Cultural Heritage Corridor will add free Twelve Muqam performances (daily at 16:00), where you can interact with folk artists and learn to play the dutar.

Clothing suggestions:The Pamir Plateau has a large temperature difference between day and night, so bring a windbreaker and sun protection items; shoes must be removed when entering, so shoes that are easy to put on and take off are recommended.
Cultural etiquette:Say “Yaxshimusiz” (hello) when greeting and “Khosh” (goodbye) when parting; smile and signal before photographing elderly people and children.
Avoiding pitfalls:For “Hotan dates” at the Kashgar Grand Bazaar, look for thin-skinned, thick-fleshed varieties (price not less than 80 yuan per jin); do not bathe on the Pamir Plateau to prevent altitude sickness.
