I. Detailed introduction to routes or destinations: A three-dimensional picture of geography and culture
The in-depth tour of Southern Xinjiang takes “snow mountains-deserts-oases-canyons” as its core thread, connecting four major geographical units:
Pamir Plateau:With an average altitude of over 3,500 meters, Muztagh Ata is snow-capped year-round, the waters of Baisha Lake and the sand mountains frame together to form the wonder of “half seawater, half flame,” and the 64 hairpin turns of Panlong Ancient Road form the “smooth road of life” sign photo spot.
Taklamakan Desert:The world’s second-largest shifting desert, the desert highway crosses the sea of sand, with poplar forests and dunes along the way weaving a vast picture. In 2026, a new 520-kilometer lesser-known hidden realm was added on the Minfeng to Qiemo section, equipped with satellite phones and emergency rescue points.
Kashgar Old City:Upgraded to a “museum without walls,” the century-old teahouse at Id Kah Square, the earthenware making on Craftsman Street, and the welcome ceremony at Xiangfei Garden immerse visitors in the traditional life scenes of various ethnic groups.
Canyon landforms:Wensu Grand Canyon has complex geological structures, and the Chisha Mountain panoramic platform allows photography of Danxia landforms; Kizil Caves are famous as the “Caves of a Thousand Buddhas,” dating back about 1,800 years, with breathtaking mural art.
