Explore the Silk Road Charm:2026 Kashgar 6-Day Self-Guided Tour with Custom Vehicle Rental: In-Depth Travel Guide
🌄 Detailed Introduction to Itinerary or Destination
Kashgar, a millennium-old city located at the eastern foot of the Pamir Plateau, is a crucial node on the ancient Silk Road. It boasts well-preserved traditional dwellings of various ethnic groups, magnificent snow-capped mountains and lake landscapes, and the unique charm of multicultural integration. In 2026, Kashgar Old City will be open to visitors free of charge all day, while internal attractions such as the Gaotai Residential Area and Id Kah Mosque will implement separate admission fees. Extending southwest along the China-Pakistan Friendship Highway (G314), the blue and white hues of Baisha Lake, the iceberg reflection on Karakul Lake, and the majestic silhouette of Muztagh Ata form the most classic visual symbols of the Pamir Plateau. The awe-inspiring 600-plus hairpin bends of the Panlong Ancient Road and the Tiffany-blue tones of Bandier Blue Lake make this loop a paradise for photography enthusiasts.
