Exploring Xinjiang’s Internet-Famous Highway:In-Depth Group Tour Guide to Panlong Ancient Road✨
(Opening icon:🌄）
I. Itinerary Highlights: The ‘Life’s Detours’ on the Pamir Plateau
As an iconic landmark in southern Xinjiang, Panlong Ancient Road is renowned for its over 600 consecutive hairpin turns. Spanning 75 kilometers, the mountain road ascends from an elevation of 3,000 meters to 4,216 meters, with a vertical drop of 1,200 meters. This poverty-alleviation highway, newly paved with asphalt in 2019, has become a phenomenal check-in spot due to the slogan alongside the road: ‘Today, I’ve traversed all the detours; from now on, life will be nothing but smooth sailing.’ Along the way, you can overlook the snow-capped peaks, canyons, and alpine meadows of the Kunlun Mountains. In spring, wildflowers blanket the landscape; in summer, it bursts with greenery; in autumn, the foliage turns vibrant hues; and in winter, it transforms into a snowy wonderland.
