Mystical Land · Southern Xinjiang Long-Haul Custom Vehicle Deep Tour (Summer 2026 Edition)
🌄 [Key Highlights of the Itinerary]
Summer in Southern Xinjiang is a symphony of glaciers and flames—the Muztagh Ata Peak on the Pamir Plateau is perpetually snow-capped, while surface temperatures in the Taklimakan Desert can exceed 60°C. This 10-day, 9-night custom vehicle itinerary connects iconic attractions like Kashgar Old Town, Baisha Lake, Panlong Ancient Road, Tasha Ancient Road, and Hotan Night Market, while also venturing into off-the-beaten-path gems like Kizilsu Glacier Park and Dawakun Desert. Daily driving time is capped at 4 hours, leaving ample time to capture morning mists over plateau lakes, starry skies in the desert heartland, and the craftsmanship of artisans from various ethnic groups.
