Entering the Fragrant Concubine Garden, the park is quite large. I only gained a slight understanding of that period of history. The Islamic architectural style is indeed distinctive. The most interesting part was the two dance performances; the dancers were passionate and energetic, although the ticket price was a bit expensive!
Although Xiangfei did not rest here, Xiangfei Garden is still worth a visit to learn about different cultures and architectural styles, as well as to see two cute ostriches and several leisurely camels.

If you come to Aksu, you must visit the Grand Canyon. It's really big and breathtaking! You can also see snow-capped mountains. Walking from No. 3 to No. 4, taking photos along the way, is truly amazing.
The scenery is beautiful, but transportation is inconvenient. The platform for booking the shuttle bus is extremely complicated; I spent ages trying to figure out which route to choose, and there was no tutorial. In the end, I just chose the popular route below, which eliminates the need to select locations manually: Aksu-Tacun-Grand Canyon (I misunderstood that Tacun also stops there, but I was only going to the Grand Canyon, so this was the correct route). I also don't understand why the ticket QR code isn't displayed at the main entrance; you have to walk a long way from the boarding area to the back to scan it. The buses are infrequent and small, with only a few seats. There's a risk of not getting a ticket if you go at the last minute, and even if you do, the time allotted for sightseeing is very short. The four-hour visit felt rushed, with the entire trip consisting of fast walking.

The theme is poplar trees and their spirit, and it tells the story of a group of primitive spiritualists who, amidst religious conflict, remain steadfast in their faith. The scenery is beautiful and well worth a visit. The entire tour takes about seven or eight hours. We spent five hours exploring, but still missed some attractions. It's perfect for family outings, with a botanical garden and zoo within the complex. Tickets are affordable.
I didn't expect to get a surprise. It was free. The scenic area is still worth visiting. There was a city opening ceremony and performances. There was a large poplar forest. It was a pity that I came a little early and it was not yet yellow.

It is worth a visit. The park is very large and many buildings are rebuilt. You can go up to the Baoyue Tower to overlook the park. There is no need to visit the exhibition hall. But the royal tombs and several mosques in the back are worth a visit.
The attractions include the Amanisha Khan Mausoleum and the Yarkand Khan Mausoleum, which have many sarcophagi and can be visited in 15 minutes. Opposite is the Intangible Cultural Heritage Expo Park, which is the Yarkand Kingdom Palace.

The performance location is right next to the Gaotai residential area. After entering, the first thing you can do is interact with the actors up close to experience the exotic culture. Then you can sit down and watch the story of the Twelve Muqams for an hour. The depth of the story is comparable to that of Dunhuang, etc. Other things are okay.
This immersive performance brought you right into the bustling old city of Kashgar a century ago, with its vibrant and vibrant bustle of vendors and residents. Enter the Lehun Theater to experience three life stories related to the Twelve Muqams. Tickets are a bit pricey, but overall, it's worth the experience.

This is a very worthwhile scenic spot to visit. There are no extra charges. You can ride shared bicycles, tandem bicycles, four-person bicycles, and electric vehicles for 20 yuan per person within the scenic area. If you buy a ticket, you can ride a horse-drawn carriage for free to explore the scenic area. The golden poplar forests, blue skies, and yellow leaves make for a truly beautiful sight.
This was my first time seeing a poplar forest, and it was truly beautiful. I was lucky to be in southern Xinjiang in October, which was a good time to visit. I met some reliable travel companions, and we decided to come together. If you have travel buddies, it's really convenient to carpool from Shache.

The scenic area's location on Ctrip was incorrect. After passing the main gate, you actually have to drive another 30 kilometers to reach the final glacier park. I was confused at first and couldn't find the correct entrance. I called and learned that I had to drive to the very end.
The alpine meadow at the end of Oytak Glacier Park is absolutely stunning. I came here solely for this. Following the guide, I found a horseman and rode up there. The 50 yuan one-way price was a great deal, but the route he took was quite steep and somewhat dangerous.
Once we reached the alpine meadow, we realized how truly beautiful it was. Someone was taking wedding photos there; the bride was stunning!
There's a new wooden plank road to the right of the wide grassland. It's not fully finished yet, but we went up it without realizing it. We discovered the true expanse of grassland, filled with herds of cattle and sheep. It's a truly stunning photo opportunity! Everyone is welcome to explore.
Kezhou Glacier Park is located in Akto County, Kizilsu Kirgiz Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang. At an altitude of 2,804 meters, it boasts the lowest glacier in China. The park boasts a vibrant mix of snow-capped mountains, glaciers, waterfalls, forests, and grasslands, including the Kelazi Glacier and Ayilanish Snow Mountain, offering visitors a glimpse into the grandeur of nature.

The Old House of Mr. Bai on Chasa Road
This old house not only retains the unique charm of Kashgar's ancient houses, but also showcases a unique exquisiteness with its spacious layout and ornate handicrafts such as door curtains and carpets. Every corner of the courtyard offers unique beauty, making it an excellent choice for photography enthusiasts.
The old house of Maimaiti in the ancient city (the home of Mr. Bai) is a Uyghur-style residence with a history of more than 300 years. A room full of gold and a bag of sand😋📝Buy tickets on Ctrip🎫¥29/person. It is very convenient to scan the code directly.

A 10-minute stroll from the hotel is Kashgar's famous Gaotai Folk Houses. Kashgar Old Town is also very close, making it a great combination for a day trip. This residential complex is said to date back to the Kashgar Khanate. Legend has it that Ban Chao and Geng Gong of the Eastern Han Dynasty once lived here. Most of the existing buildings were built over 600 years ago. Due to their clay structures, they lack safety and stability.
Beginning in 2009, a residential reinforcement and renovation project was launched, investing 839 million yuan to renovate 9,722 traditional Uyghur dwellings using carbon fiber reinforcement and steel support. In 2014, 150 million yuan was invested to improve the landscape. In 2021, an intangible cultural heritage preservation project was launched, implementing a "one-house, one-design" approach. The complex is scheduled to reopen in 2023 after renovations, with free admission. Currently, the complex is primarily home to artisan shops, with an area preserved in its original state for visitors to explore. A full tour takes about an hour and a half.
@Southern Xinjiang, Kashgar, Gaotai Folk Houses
With a history of 600 years, this is a major attraction in Kashgar showcasing ancient Uyghur residential architecture and folk customs. The houses are built of mud and poplar wood, and while they may appear shabby, they are actually hundreds of years old.
