There is little commercial development along the way, suitable for nature lovers to stop and take photos. Currently, this attraction has no entrance fee, and you can stop anytime to visit.

5. Shache Yarkand Khan Palace: The architecture retains strong local characteristics, and there are many folk displays in the park. It has fewer tourists than Kashgar Old City, allowing a quieter experience of local culture. In 2026, the reference entrance fee for this attraction is 35 yuan per person, and valid ID is required for entry.
