Kashgar, a core city in southern Xinjiang, is renowned for its millennium-old ancient town, Silk Road culture, and Pamir Plateau scenery. In the summer of 2026, tourism in Kashgar continues to surge, but the local climate, characterized by significant temperature differences between day and night, strong UV radiation, and frequent sandstorms, poses challenges for tourists in choosing appropriate attire. This article combines the latest 2026 climate data with real-world experiences from tourists to provide a practical guide for travelers planning group tours to Kashgar, covering seasonal dressing, scene adaptation, and cost budgeting.
