South Xinjiang self-driving loop, the most beautiful scenery is on the road.

Finally arrived at Kashgar City and Kashgar Prefecture, which I have been thinking about. I spent two days in Kashgar City to eat and shop. I have to say that the food here is dazzling, and the fruits are also very delicious. You can't buy them when you return to the mainland. From Kashgar to Taxkorgan, drive on National Highway 314, which is the essence of the South Xinjiang trip. On the first day, I passed by Lake Baisha and Karakul Lake Scenic Area. The former is a highlight of the White Sand Mountain on the opposite bank, while the latter is the best place to view Muztagh Ata. Of course, the weather has a great impact on the lake. On the third day of the return trip, the weather was very good, and these two lakes were simply beautiful. On the second day, I started from Taxkorgan and drove to the Wakhan Corridor. Then I took the Panlong Ancient Road and returned to Taxkorgan via Bandir Blue Lake. The best viewing point of the Panlong Ancient Road is the plank road when going down the mountain, and Bandir Blue Lake also changes color with the light. The scenery along the way is also great. On the third day, I returned from Taxkorgan to Kashgar. On this day, I went to the Muztagh Ata Glacier Park, which has an altitude of 4600 meters. Children may feel a little uncomfortable. After a day of rest in Kashgar, I went to Yarkant. Yarkant has many ancient sites, and the grilled pigeons are a must. It's a pity that the Yarkant Royal Palace is closed. The whole trip took 10 days, and the road conditions were pretty good. It is definitely a self-driving route with both cultural and natural landscapes.
