The cemetery, the lecture hall, and the Jiaman Mosque are the three historical sites within the Xiangfei Garden; the remaining buildings and sculptures were added later. The sculpture wall depicting Xiangfei's life is quite nice, but the only drawback is that the text is a bit small and partially obscured by flowers and plants. As a cultural landmark, text and images are essential for this introduction, and I hope the park management will further optimize and improve this.
In addition to the main building of Xiangfei Garden, the lecture hall, the Jiaman Mosque (the pattern of each pillar is different), the century-old gatehouse, and the high and low mosques are all worth seeing.

Eating here, you feel like you've become a character in the ancient city's stories.
🍴 Must-Try Dishes
• Big Plate Chicken: The chicken is perfectly stewed, the potatoes are soft and fragrant, and paired with wide noodles, it's the ultimate in flavor! The spiciness is just right, making it incredibly satisfying.

It's worth a visit. The people are very nice and unique. Everyone in the city speaks Uyghur, except for tourists. People there seem to prioritize appearances. Even on a hot day, the older men in suits and hats, and the women in vibrant long dresses, are stunning. They're quite sophisticated, and it feels like being abroad. I love it!

Karakul Lake means "Black Lake" in Uyghur. It gets its name from the fact that its waters, located on the Pamir Plateau, appear dark and inky when bathed in sunlight.
Karakul Lake is surrounded by Muztagh Ata, Kongur Peak, and Kongur Jiubie Peak. The towering mountain ridges and blue skies and white clouds are reflected in the clear waters, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scenery that makes for exceptional photographs.
🌟 Karakul Lake, the dazzling pearl of the Pamir Plateau, is a breathtakingly beautiful hidden gem absolutely worth a photo op!
📍 Ideally situated just off National Highway 314, it's a must-stop on the way to Tashkurgan, and conveniently located about a two-hour drive from Kashgar.
🏞️ Breathtaking scenery! The lake, perched at an altitude of 3,600 meters, boasts crystal-clear waters that transform into a dazzling array of colors, from azure blue to golden red to inky black, reminiscent of a fairyland, depending on the light and weather. Set against the backdrop of the towering Muztagh Ata, the "Father of Glaciers," its reflection is crystal clear, reflected in the lake. The view, framed by the three snow-capped peaks of Kongur Peak and Kongur Jiubie Peak, is a classic postcard-worthy view of the Pamir Plateau.
📸 A photographer's paradise! Whether it's the lake and mountains by day or the starry Milky Way at night, this place promises stunning photos. The sight of the Milky Way rising from Muztagh Ata on summer nights is particularly spectacular. Furthermore, the scenic area has relaxed regulations, allowing camping by the lake, making it an excellent platform for stargazing and time-lapse photography.
🎫 Tickets currently cost 45 yuan per person for adults, with discounts for students and seniors. Although some visitors claim to be free, most report requiring a ticket, so it's recommended to plan ahead.
🐎 Horseback and camel riding are available within the scenic area, and the sight of yaks and camels by the lake adds a touch of exotic charm to your photos. Be mindful of the prices and negotiate accordingly.
⚠️ Tips:
- The weather in the plateau is unpredictable, and even in summer, it can be windy and cold. Be sure to bring windproof, warm clothing, and sunglasses.
- Due to the high altitude, those with weaker constitutions are advised to bring oxygen tanks and avoid strenuous exercise.
- The best time to visit is from April to October, but the snow-covered scenery of winter offers a unique charm, perfect for those who enjoy snowy scenery and a tranquil atmosphere.
In short, Karakul Lake combines snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, and a starry sky. Its natural scenery is pristine and magnificent, making it one of the most spiritual attractions not to be missed on the southern Xinjiang route. Highly recommended!

We visited the country on September 14th. There were many tourists. It took an hour to take the shuttle bus one way. There was also a queue on the return trip. As a result, everyone had a severe altitude sickness reaction. It didn't take too long to visit the country.
China's Khunjerab Pass is located in Tashkurgan Tajik Autonomous County, Kashgar Prefecture, Xinjiang, at the China-Pakistan border marker No. 7. It is the world's highest land port (4,733 meters) and the core channel of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor and the throat of the ancient Silk Road.

We went at the end of August. The sun was very bright during the day and there were not many people around. As the night went on, the crowds gradually increased. The park isn't very large, so 2 hours is enough if you don't watch the evening show. We recommend entering around 7pm.
Due to the influence of the overall environment, there are not many tourists in the scenic area. Although it is an ancient city built by modern people, it is an experience for tourists who have never been to or do not understand the Western Regions. There is no need to be obsessed with whether it is an ancient city!

The river valley is lush and green, like an oasis, while the mountains on either side are desolate and lonely, their peaks dotted with glaciers. These conflicting tones create the unique beauty of the Pamirs, protected by generations of Tajik people! Then there are the stories of Stone City and the China-Pakistan friendship told at the Tieba Night Market!
This scenic area is actually the Stone City Ruins and Golden Grass Beach. Now integrated, you need to purchase tickets at the visitor center and take a shuttle bus; your own car cannot enter. Park your car at the foot of the Stone City and visit the museum. Then, exit to the castle ruins, then explore the Golden Grass Beach. Finally, take the shuttle back from the exit. The scenery is quite nice.

I hired a tour guide, otherwise I wouldn't understand it. The tour guide charged a very low fee, but he was very dedicated and explained the traditional history of these ethnic minorities clearly. Thumbs up!
The Amanisa Khan Memorial Mausoleum and the Yarkand Khanate Mausoleum are together.
The Amanisa Khan Memorial Mausoleum was built to commemorate the Uyghur poetess and Muqam scholar Amanisa Khan, and displays the names of the twelve sets of Muqam and her poems.
The Yarkand Khanate Mausoleum was built in the 12th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1533). It is the mausoleum of the Yarkand Khanate, where many Khans and their family members such as Suritang Sayyid Khan were buried. The mausoleum architecture combines Islamic style, glazed brick decoration and plaster pattern.
Through the visit, people can get a closer understanding of Xinjiang's history and culture.

We arrived at Zepujin Populus euphratica National Forest Park at 10:30 am. Although we arrived a little late (the staff said that the best view is at the end of October), it is still very beautiful. Any photo can be used as wallpaper. After entering the park, we took the scenic shuttle bus. There are five stops. The natural scenery at the first stop is the most beautiful, which is similar to the imagined poplar forest. The following stops also have their own characteristics. We stayed in the park for nearly three hours.
If you are not in a hurry, you can walk through the entire scenic area in about 2-3 hours and 10 km. If you don't want to walk, just take the sightseeing bus, which is also cost-effective. It is a scenic spot that I will recommend to my friends in the future. It takes an hour and a half to drive from Shache.

Panlong Ancient Road is a road completed in Xinjiang in 2019. After opening, it immediately attracted widespread attention. It is connected to the 314 National Road, and there are more than 600 S-curves in a total length of about 75 kilometers, and the altitude has risen from 3,000 meters to 4,216 meters. It is a long-standing transportation line, an important transportation hub connecting ancient Central Asia and China. The magic, wonder, mystery, spectacular and exciting 600 S-bends of this road are more embodiment of the wisdom and hard work of designers and pavers.
The phrase "the most beautiful scenery on the road" can be most fully experienced in the Pamir Plateau, from Kashgar to Ta County, the scenery is infinite, amazing, the Pamir Plateau stands, the arid climate makes everything here full of luxury, many times we stopped the car to enjoy the shooting. Panlong Ancient Road has more than 600 curves, at an altitude of 4,200 meters cliff edge, like a dragon hovering in the Pamir plateau, after walking these curves, I believe that "Today has passed all the curves, and life is a smooth road".

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.
The main show for both the immersive and soul tickets is the same, but the immersive version has an extra half-hour immersive performance.
