Exploring Southern Xinjiang:A customized vehicle tour deeply blending culture and nature
In-depth reveal of Southern Xinjiang routes and destinations
Southern Xinjiang, a land bearing thousands of years of civilization and magnificent mountains and rivers, attracts countless travelers with its unique geographical features and diverse cultures. In 2026, it still retains its pristine charm, while upgraded transportation and services make it an even more convenient travel destination.
[Kashgar Old City] — A living museum of a thousand years of history
As the core city of Southern Xinjiang, Kashgar Old City is a window to understanding the cultures of various ethnic groups. In 2026, the old city still retains its earth-yellow rammed-earth building complexes, and in its maze-like alleys, handicraft workshops, teahouses, and bazaars (markets) intertwine. Visitors can participate in traditional pottery making, watch song and dance performances by people of various ethnic groups, or listen to a tune of the dutar in a century-old teahouse. The old city is currently open for free, but some experience programs require separate payment.
[Pamir Plateau] — A secret realm of the high plateau
Heading southwest along the China-Pakistan Friendship Highway (G314), you can reach the Pamir Plateau. With an average altitude exceeding 4,000 meters, Muztagh Ata, Kongur Tiube, and Karakul Lake form a magnificent picture of the “Father of Ice Mountains.” In 2026, traveling to Tashkurgan County requires obtaining a permit in advance (which can be obtained free of charge at the Kashgar International Self-Driving RV Camp), and the daily visitor limit is 3,000 people, so advance planning is recommended.
[Taklamakan Desert] — A miracle of life in a restricted area
To cross the world’s second-largest shifting desert, you can choose the desert highway from Tazhong Town to Qiemo County. In 2026, three new viewing platforms and supply stations have been added along this highway, where visitors can get out to experience desert off-roading, sand sliding, or stargazing camping. Note that summer surface temperatures can reach 70°C, so sufficient sun protection and hydration equipment are necessary.
