I. Detailed Introduction to the Route or Destination
[Kashgar Old Town]🏰
As the cultural heart of Southern Xinjiang, Kashgar Old Town is renowned for its well-preserved traditional architectural complexes of all ethnic groups and rich ethnic customs. Strolling through maze-like streets and alleys, handicraft workshops, century-old teahouses, and distinctive bazaars (markets) are scattered in an orderly manner, each exuding the lively atmosphere of daily life. Id Kah Square is one of the larger squares in Xinjiang, a center of folk cultural activities, and an important window for understanding the cultures of all ethnic groups. In 2026, the old town adds an interactive city-gate opening ceremony, where tourists can participate in traditional dance performances of all ethnic groups, and the century-old teahouse launches an “intangible cultural heritage experience package,” including pottery making, Atlas silk weaving, and other projects.
[Pamir Plateau]⛰️
The Pamir Plateau is known as “the roof of the highlands,” with continuous snow-capped mountains and mirror-like lakes. The White Sand Lake scenic area will build a new viewing boardwalk in 2026 to solve the peak-season queuing problem; the Muztagh Ata climbing base camp opens up to an altitude of 5,500 meters, requiring an advance border pass; the Panlong Ancient Road’s wonder of over 600 curves adds a “Smooth Path of Life” themed check-in installation, allowing vehicles with 7 seats or fewer to pass daily from 8:00 to 19:00, with reservations required through the “Ping’an Tianshan” platform.
[Taklamakan Desert]🏜️
As the world’s second-largest shifting desert, the Taklamakan Desert’s magnificence is breathtaking. In 2026, the desert highway adds a photovoltaic power generation lighting system, making night driving safer; Lop Nur People’s Village launches a “Desert Starry Sky Camping” project, including professional astronomical telescope observation, allowing tourists to feel the desert’s tranquility and mystery under the vast starry sky.
[Hotan]💎
Hotan, a city famous for jade, not only boasts China’s larger jade trading market—the Hotan Jade Bazaar—but also preserves ancient jade mining and processing techniques. Here, tourists can personally touch uncarved raw stones, listen to intangible cultural heritage inheritors tell the stories behind the jade, and feel the unique charm of the “Jade Capital.” The Hotan Museum has a collection of over 9,000 cultural relics, and the museum’s treasure, the “Five Stars Rise in the East Benefiting China” brocade arm guard (replica), is right here.
