As China’s best-preserved labyrinthine urban neighborhood, the Kashgar Ancient City features earth-yellow rammed earth buildings interwoven with colorful doors and windows, crisscrossing alleyways, and scattered tea houses, handicraft workshops, and bazaars (markets). Visitors can follow a guide to explore century-old tea houses, listen to elderly people from various ethnic groups play the rawap, or watch collective dances by fellow compatriots at the Id Kah Square.

Along the way, you will see Muztagh Ata (the “Father of Ice Mountains”), Karakul Lake (reflecting snow-capped mountains on its surface), Baisha Lake (white sand dunes contrasting with blue waters), and other landscapes. In spring (March-April), you can also venture into the apricot blossom village in Tar Township to see pink apricot blossoms, snow-capped mountains, and yurts of people from various ethnic groups forming a picturesque scene.

Some itineraries extend into the heart of southern Xinjiang, where travelers can ride in off-road vehicles across desert highways, visit the Dawakun Desert Scenic Area, experience sandboarding and camel riding, or admire the starry sky at desert campsites.
