🚗 2026 Summer Southern Xinjiang 7-Seat Business Car Customized Travel Guide: Exclusive Arrangements for Stops at All Viewpoints Along the Panlong Ancient RoadBasic Tips for Traveling the Panlong Ancient Road:The Panlong Ancient Road is located in Tashkurgan County, Kashgar Prefecture. According to the newly updated traffic rules in 2026, small passenger vehicles with 7 seats or fewer are recommended and allowed to enter, while vehicles with more than 7 seats cannot enter — this is one of the core advantages of choosing a 7-seat business car for this route. The Panlong Ancient Road is a one-way route with no gas stations or charging piles along the entire way, so you need to fill up the tank in Tashkurgan county town before departure. A travel permit must be obtained in advance to enter Tashkurgan County. Since April 2026, electronic permits have been activated nationwide. Mainland residents over 16 years old can apply online through the “Immigration 12367” app or relevant mini-programs on WeChat or Alipay, filling in the destination as “Tashkurgan County, Kashgar Prefecture, Xinjiang.” The permit can be issued in as fast as 10 minutes, valid for up to 3 months. It must be presented together with a valid ID when traveling. Since the signal in the Pamir mountain area is unstable, it’s recommended to download the PDF version of the electronic permit in advance as a backup. You can also go to the local government service center in Kashgar to apply at the offline counter and get the permit on the spot.
Introduction to Viewpoints Along the Panlong Ancient Road:The Panlong Ancient Road has multiple viewpoints along the way where you can stop, each offering different viewing angles. The Dapanlong (Big Panlong) viewpoint is located at a higher elevation along the ancient road. Standing on the viewpoint, you can overlook the entire winding mountain road, making it ideal for panoramic shots of the ancient road. Between 9 AM and 12 PM is the best time with direct sunlight, when the textures of the mountain body and curves are clearer with higher color saturation. The Xiaopanlong (Small Panlong) viewpoint is located in the latter half of the ancient road, where you can see dense arrangements of 180-degree hairpin turns — a favorite photo spot for many tourists. The wooden boardwalk location is also good for portrait shots. The viewpoints around the Longji Mountain boardwalk are also popular stops for photography enthusiasts, with temporary convenience service points nearby for rest. Both the starting and ending points of the ancient road have iconic signposts that many tourists stop to take photos at. Since it’s a one-way route with no U-turns, it’s recommended to take photos at the starting point signpost before entering.
Introduction to Other Core Points Covered:Besides the Panlong Ancient Road, the itinerary can also cover points such as Kuqa Tianshan Secret Grand Canyon, Kizil Thousand Buddha Caves, Kashgar Old City, Baisha Lake, Muztagh Ata, and Bandir Blue Lake. According to newly updated policies in 2026, the Kizil Thousand Buddha Caves implement a reservation-based visit system with daily visitor limits, and it’s recommended to reserve 3 days in advance. Scenic areas like Kuqa Grand Canyon and Baisha Lake allow on-site ticket purchase, and can also be reserved in advance through the “One Phone to Travel Xinjiang” mini-program.
