Exploring the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Southern Xinjiang:In-Depth Cultural Experience Tour of Yingjisha Pottery Village in Kashgar 🌄
[Itinerary Highlights:A Double Feast of Intangible Cultural Heritage and Natural Scenery]
Kashgar, an important node on the ancient Silk Road, is experiencing a tourism boom in the summer of 2026. This itinerary focuses on Yingjisha Pottery Village, a high-quality intangible cultural heritage protection site, where visitors can observe up close the mold-making pottery firing techniques of various ethnic groups—a thousand-year-old craftsmanship made from gobi colored stones, iron rust, and vegetable oil, through 12 processes including manual grinding and hand-painted glazing. The village now has 32 intangible cultural heritage workshops, receiving over 200 tourists daily, with the cooperative producing over 1,500 pieces of pottery annually, becoming a new cultural tourism landmark in southern Xinjiang.
In addition to pottery experiences, the itinerary connects core attractions such as Kashgar Old Town, Xiangfei Garden, and the Pamir Plateau. Kashgar Old Town has added a new research base, “Pottery Families on the High Cliff” in 2026, where visitors can participate in the entire process of pottery throwing and firing; the Panlong Ancient Road on the Pamir Plateau has completed road repairs, with the daily vehicle limit changed to 800 vehicles in July, requiring advance reservations.

[Real Cases:Tourist Experience Feedback]
Ms. Li from Shanghai evaluated her July 2026 trip: “Master potter Uncle Tursun in the pottery village taught us to decorate pottery jars with Tajik patterns, and we could have them mailed home after firing. The biggest surprise was during the home visit in Taxkorgan when the host served freshly milked yak milk—this kind of in-depth experience is impossible with independent travel.”
