- Rich Historical and Cultural Heritage: A National 4A-level scenic spot, the Xiangfei Garden covers over 300 mu (approximately 1,000 acres) and is divided into two sections, centered around the Xiangfei Stone and the main burial chamber. The front section houses Xiangfei's former residence, the Huo Family History Museum, and the Baoyue Tower. The back section houses the original Xiangfei Tomb scenic area, including the main burial chamber, the lecture hall, and the Jiaman Mosque. Visitors can hear the legendary story of Xiangfei's journey from Kashgar to Beijing and experience the perfect fusion of history and culture.
- Unique Architectural Style: The architecture of the Xiangfei Garden embodies a classic Islamic style. The exquisite glazed bricks on the exterior walls of the Xiangfei Tomb embody Uyghur aesthetics to the extreme. The Jiaman Mosque, with its 62 distinctive pillars and exquisite dome, is truly a sight to behold, earning it the nickname "China's Taj Mahal."
- Rich Folk Culture Experiences [__LINK_ICON]: The scenic area offers a diverse program of historical exhibitions, folk culture experiences, and interactive performances, allowing visitors to move beyond "visiting" to "participating." The "Fragrant Concubine Welcoming Guests" entrance ceremony is a highlight. Professional actors portraying Emperor Qianlong and the Fragrant Concubine greet visitors from all directions. Song and dance performances such as "Courtyard Maixirepu" and "Happy Fragrant Concubine" also feature, allowing visitors to experience the unique charm of Xinjiang's "Land of Song and Dance."
- The park boasts a beautiful environment: The park is lush, shaded by trees and filled with fragrant flowers. The orchard and grape corridor are planted with fruit trees unique to Kashgar, and from July to September, you can enjoy sweet figs and pomegranates. The resting seats in the park are all swings, and visitors can enjoy a relaxing moment swinging in the shade with a glass of pomegranate juice.
- Comprehensive amenities: The Fragrant Concubine Park features a cultural and creative shop, the Fragrant Concubine Post Office, selling exquisite Maisilaipu crafts. Behind the post office is a photo booth for photo-taking. Near the exit, there are numerous handicraft shops selling Yengisar knives, naan, carpets, earthenware vases, and more. The prices are more affordable than those in high-rise residential areas and the ancient city.
A garden, a park, you can see the panoramic view from the Baoyue Tower, you can see a large tomb, which is quite spectacular. The Xiangfei Tomb has nothing to do with Xiangfei, there are many swings, and you can ride an ostrich

The ticket prices for Xinjiang attractions are quite reasonable and offer excellent value. I didn't dare go to Wild Glacier No. 2 with my parents and children, so I opted for Glacier No. 4. We walked slowly for about 30 minutes, fearing altitude sickness from the excitement. The one-way horseback ride for two people, elderly and children, was 150 yuan. We were getting down the mountain because it was almost time to get off work and we were feeling a bit unwell from the altitude sickness. We bargained down the horseback ride to 50 yuan per person.
Horseback riding is still necessary. The glacier is okay! The yak skewers in the scenic area are also good! There is a shuttle bus in the scenic area, which is very convenient! Booking tickets on Ctrip is very convenient. You can enter by swiping your ID card directly. I arrived on October 8th and avoided the crowds. The experience was pretty good!

In mid-August, Baisha Lake was bathed in blue skies and white clouds, the water and sky blending into one, and bustling with tourists. The sun was blazing, the lake breeze was strong, but altitude sickness was largely absent, and the white yaks by the lake were docile and adorable.

Located in Tashkurgan Tajik Autonomous County, Kashgar Prefecture, Xinjiang, Khunjerab is a place of unique charm and significance!
- Rich History and Culture: As a key node on the ancient Silk Road, Khunjerab has witnessed a prosperous history, attracting international trade and cultural exchange, and possesses a profound historical and cultural heritage.
- Strategic Position: As the only land crossing between China and Pakistan and one of the highest land crossings in the world, Khunjerab serves as a vital channel for friendly exchanges between the two countries and holds significant geopolitical significance.
- Magnificent Natural Scenery: Boasting a picturesque river valley where winding rivers meet towering mountains, distinctive red canyons, and clear lakes, it is a paradise for outdoor activities, where visitors can hike, camp, and admire the sunrise and stargazing.
- Unique Culture and Customs: The Tajik people living in the surrounding area are known as the "Heavenly People." Their traditional clothing, etiquette, and cuisine reflect the simple, kind, and friendly character of their people. Their folk sports, such as yak-grabbing sheep, are also unique.
Patriotic education is of great significance: Standing at the Khunjerab Pass National Gate and watching the five-star red flag flutter in the wind, one can truly feel a strong sense of patriotism and deeply appreciate the unwavering perseverance of the border guards and Tajik border patrol officers despite the lack of oxygen.
Notes:
1. Bring your border pass.
2. The Chinese boundary marker and the Khunjerab Pass 5,100-meter monument are checkpoints where you'll need to queue. Many people take photos for a long time, so if you get off the bus and see few people, hurry to line up first and then take your time to explore.
3. The national gate is at a high altitude. Don't rush or run after getting off the bus, as this can easily drop your blood oxygen level below 80. It's best to bring an oxygen tank. There's an oxygen room next to the national gate for 30 yuan per person, which is worth visiting if you're experiencing altitude sickness.
4. It's cold while waiting for the shuttle bus, but it's hotter once you board. Therefore, it's recommended to wear a thick waterproof down jacket on the outside, which is easy to unzip when you board.
5. No drones allowed! Sensitive border area!
6⃣ Do not take photos of soldiers on duty! Do not point fingers!
7⃣ Do not communicate with the Pakistanis across the street!
Arriving in Tashkurgan and not going to the border always felt wrong. Facing high recoil and harsh conditions, I realized how difficult it is for the heroes guarding the border! Salute to the most lovely people in New China!

We first went to Baisha Lake, which was pretty average. Due to time constraints, we hadn't planned to go to Karakul, but once we finally got there, we were blown away! The scenic area isn't huge; it's just a parking lot, and you pay for it. But seeing Muztagh Ata was incredibly exciting and enjoyable. The weather wasn't great that day, with a sandstorm, but there weren't any here, and it wasn't crowded either. The overall experience was fantastic, and I'll definitely be back!
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.

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.

China West Polar! China West Polar! China West Polar! Geographic enthusiasts are ecstatic! It takes about two hours to arrive from Kashgar. There are more upper limit speeds along the way, but it is also counted to the west of the motherland. The West Polar Stone is very majestic. I also punched in my own village. What is the freedom of life?
The place where the last ray of sunshine of the motherland falls is worth visiting. You can ride a camel, ride a horse, or take a car up the mountain. If you are physically fit, you can also walk up. I think the winding road with beautiful mountains and rivers is really a good place to take photos. The cultural and creative products are also very beautiful.

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.

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.
