Starred ✨ Southern Xinjiang In-Depth Tour:Unlock the secret realms and cultural codes of the Pamir Plateau
[Detailed introduction to the route or destination]
Southern Xinjiang, this land embraced by the Kunlun Mountains, the Tianshan Mountains and the Taklamakan Desert, is the concentrated essence of Xinjiang’s nature and culture. In 2026, with the continuous optimization of the transportation network, the Southern Xinjiang loop tour has become a popular choice for in-depth experience of the cultures of all ethnic groups. Starting from the Kashgar Old City, heading southwest along the China-Pakistan Friendship Highway (G314), crossing the magnificent mountains and rivers of the Pamir Plateau, passing through natural wonders such as White Sand Lake, Muztagh Ata, and Karakul Lake, and finally arriving at Tashkurgan Tajik Autonomous County to experience the eagle dance and yak-riding-to-grab-sheep of the people of all ethnic groups; heading east, you can visit Hotan’s jade market and the thousand-year-old walnut king, go deep into the heart of the Taklamakan Desert, and experience the shock of the desert highway and the primitive village life of Daliyaboyi.
Natural wonders interwoven with culture
Pamir Plateau:With an average altitude of over 4,000 meters, Muztagh Ata (7,546 meters above sea level) is snow-capped all year round, Karakul Lake is famous for its water changing color with the light, and the silvery-white sand dunes of White Sand Lake and the azure water form a strong visual impact.
Kashgar Old City:A new round of protective restoration was completed in 2026, retaining the earthen structure and carved doors and windows of the traditional dwellings of the people of all ethnic groups. The century-old Id Kah Square and the century-old teahouse remain must-visit places for tourists.
Culture of all ethnic groups:The Stone City ruins (2nd century BC) and the Golden Grassland wetland in Tashkurgan County, combined with the eagle flute performances of the people of all ethnic groups and the Pamir Eagle Festival (every May), show the unique customs of the plateau ethnic groups.
Desert and oasis:The Hotan-to-Minfeng desert highway (566 kilometers in total) crosses the Taklamakan Desert. Along the way you can visit the Niya ruins (the site of the ancient Jingjue Kingdom) and Daliyaboyi Village (the settlement of the Keriya people).
