Southern Xinjiang In-Depth Carpool Tour:Unlock the secret journey of the Pamir Plateau and the Taklamakan
🌄 Route Highlights:Cross three major geographical units and experience the blend of diverse cultures
Southern Xinjiang, a land accounting for one-third of Xinjiang’s total area, is known for its unique landform of “three mountains flanking two basins.” Recent data from 2026 shows that a mature tourism route has formed here with Kashgar as the hub, connecting the Pamir Plateau, the Taklamakan Desert, and the Tarim River. Unlike the grasslands and snow mountains of Northern Xinjiang, the charm of Southern Xinjiang lies in the collision between its magnificent natural landscapes and the thousand-year Silk Road civilization—from the glaciers of Muztagh Ata to the poplar forests of the Taklamakan, from the pottery workshops of Kashgar Old Town to the Stone City of Tashkurgan, every place carries the history jointly written by all ethnic groups.
