If I were to visit Southern Xinjiang only once in my lifetime, I would choose spring

🌸 Spring is the season when everything in Xinjiang comes back to life, and also when the apricot blossoms in Southern Xinjiang are in full bloom. 👏 If you are to visit Southern Xinjiang only once in your lifetime, then I strongly recommend❗️ coming to Xinjiang for a trip in spring. - ⬇️ Looking across the springtime of China, it's hard to find such a place 🏔️ Snow-capped mountains, 🌊 lakes, deserts, and the smoke of history exist side by side 💃 Romantic apricot blossoms coexist with ethnic customs 👉 In Southern Xinjiang, Western China, go for a March without the hustle and bustle of people. - 🌸 Exclusive scenic spots of Southern Xinjiang ✅ Taer Township Apricot Blossom Village: The Kunlun Mountains are majestic and precipitous, with snow melting into rushing streams, highland apricot blossoms in brilliant purples and reds, and a strong Tajik ethnic atmosphere. ✅ Kashgar Old Town: A living ancient city of a thousand years, with a strong exotic atmosphere, experience the simple ethnic customs of Xinjiang, taste the authentic cuisine of Xinjiang. ✅ Baisha Mountain Baisha Lake: Half blue water, half stretching desert, under the reflection of the blue sky and white clouds, it's like a fairyland, so beautiful it leaves you speechless. ✅ Karakul Lake: A high mountain glacial moraine lake, the water surface reflects the majestic 'Father of Icebergs' Muztagh Ata, with snow all over, the mountains and water share the same color. ✅ Panlong Ancient Road: 75 kilometers with 639 turns, a model-level visual feast, racing through the deserted ancient road for a speed and passion experience. ✅ Karakoram Highway: Also known as the China-Pakistan Friendship Highway, the scenery changes with every step along the way, the spring scenery of the Pamir snow-capped mountains and lakes is all in sight. - 🌸 Southern Xinjiang Dressing Guide In March to early April, the Pamir Plateau is still covered with ice and snow❄️ Taxkorgan has an altitude of about 3100 meters, with an average temperature around zero degrees🥶 The Apricot Blossom Village has a lower altitude, with most temperatures ranging from 5-15 degrees 👉 It is recommended to carry 3-4 pieces of clothing such as a windbreaker, light down jacket or fleece jacket, and thermal underwear. - 🌸 Southern Xinjiang Flower Viewing Itinerary: D1: From all over the country to Kashgar (check in at the Hambazar Night Market😋) D2: Kashgar to Baisha Lake (the pearl on the plateau💎) - Karakul Lake (encounter the sunlight on Muztagh Ata) - Taxkorgan D3: Taxkorgan to Wacha Panlong Ancient Road (enjoy😎 the fast life) - Taer Township Apricot Blossom (🌸 Apricot Blossom Avenue, No.5 Bridge) - Kashgar D4: Taer Township (wake up in the Apricot Blossom Village) - Kashgar D5: Kashgar Old Town (free time) D6: End the pleasant journey of Southern Xinjiang, return to the departure point - 🥰 Take advantage of the perfect springtime, the beautiful scenery with fewer people in Southern Xinjiang, and go on an impromptu trip to Southern Xinjiang~
