With such vast wilderness and beautiful scenery, you will truly feel the remoteness, splendor and freedom when driving. Southern Xinjiang is so big and the scenic spots are so scattered that I don’t know where is the best place to start.

Cross the "Sea of ??Death", see thousand-year-old monuments, visit "Bazaar" and "Mazar" and enjoy the ethnic customs.

Driving route: Urumqi - Hotan - Kashgar - Aksu - Kuqa - Turpan

Distance: 5000km

OK: The biggest cost of traveling in Xinjiang should be transportation, because Xinjiang is so big, and the average daily fare per person is more than 110 yuan.

The seasonal fruits include watermelon, cantaloupe, peaches, grapes, flat peaches, apricots, plums, pomegranates, etc. Do not drink hot tea after eating these fruits to avoid diarrhea. In addition, if you do not have an iron stomach, it is best not to eat snacks and homemade cold drinks in the market.

Tour: Southern Xinjiang tourism is roughly divided into: Silk Road culture, ethnic minority customs, Taklimakan Desert scenery, and Pamir Plateau scenery. You can see the desert and Populus euphratica on the desert highway, you can see the snow-capped mountains and Tajik customs in the Pamir Plateau, you can see the Uyghur customs in Kashgar and Hotan, and you can see the Silk Road monuments (Qiuci culture) in Kuqa. Traveling in Xinjiang is more about experiencing the feeling of traveling. Maybe reading the ancient frontier poems before leaving will be of great benefit to your trip.
