Xinjiang southern line tourist route

Tourist routes in southern Xinjiang: Urumqi-Aksu-Aral-Hotan-Kashi-Karakuli Lake-Tashkurgan County-Kashi-Aksu-all over the country.

1, Urumqi-Aksu

After gathering at Urumqi airport, fly to Aksu. There is a two-hour time difference between Xinjiang and the mainland, but it is Beijing time, so I can feel some slight time difference. Xinjiang eats two hours later than the mainland, and it gets dark even later, until 9: 30 or even 10: 00 in summer.

2. Aksu-Aral

Wensu Tomur Grand Canyon is a geological wonder of Danxia in Aksu area. Walking in Wensu Grand Canyon is like walking on Mars. The geological wonders here are even rarely seen on the Internet. Walking in the canyon, squeezed by red stone walls on both sides. It feels amazing and can be called "a living museum of geological evolution history".

3. Aral-Hotan

After entering the desert gate, we will see that the central part of southern Xinjiang is occupied by desert. On the south bank of Tarim River, the desert gate is adjacent to Taklimakan Desert. In ancient times, people were afraid of the desert, but now we can walk on the desert highway. The total length of desert highway is 480 kilometers. When we really get close to the desert, we find that the desert is not Ma Pingchuan, but constantly ups and downs.

4. Hotan-Kashgar

As an important town of the ancient Silk Road, Adelaide silk, jade articles and carpets in Hotan are famous on the ancient Silk Road. The mysterious Styya City is a regional ancient city landscape integrating the Silk Road culture, Kunlun culture and the ancient culture of the western regions, and it is also the first restored earth architectural art group in Xinjiang.

The lost city of Sidia is full of fun to explore ancient tomb sites, sacrifice and explore treasures. Just like in movies, the city is full of pottery, porcelain, dust, scorched earth and bones.

5. Kashi-Karakuri Lake-Tashkurgan County

On the fifth day, we will set foot on the Pamirs in the west pole. If there is Yang Zhuo Yongcuo on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, there is Lake Karakuri on the Pamirs. Lake Karakuli is mysterious and famous, because standing by the lake can overlook the father of Pamir iceberg, Mustagaatta. Snow peaks and quiet black lakes on the plateau make people feel pure.

6. Tashkurgan County-Kashgar

Go to Pamirs again, and then go to Panlong Ancient Road. The ancient Panlong Road seems to be a winding road to the sky, but it has the most literary signpost: Today, all detours have been completed, and life has been smooth since then. This beautiful wish has also become the reason why everyone wants to punch in this expressway. The Panlong Ancient Road has more than 600 bends and the road is 75 kilometers long. The black road is perfectly combined with the mountains in earth tone.

7. Kashgar-Aksu

You can't visit the ancient city of Kashgar enough. Walking freely in Kashgar, you will find that the old city is an inclusive place where local people have lived for generations. Children and old people walk in alleys, and the color of painted doors in every household is different. It is the best prop for taking pictures.

There is also a century-old teahouse in the old city of Kashgar. You need a pot of fruit tea or mint tea unique to southern Xinjiang, a few baked buns and ethnic snacks, sit leisurely on the second floor and drink tea, watch the Uygur elderly play and enjoy the slow time unique to southern Xinjiang.

8. Aksu-All Places

The wonderful trip to Xinjiang will end on the eighth day. This trip will give you a comprehensive and brand-new understanding of Xinjiang. I hope that through our travel arrangements, you will be close to Xinjiang and fall in love with Xinjiang.
