Then explore Apak Hoja Tomb: Admire 17th-century local architecture and hear legends of the “Fragrant Concubine” from Qing Dynasty lore. After lunch, get lost in Kashgar Old Town’s maze: Follow the scent of rose tea to artisan workshops crafting dutar lutes, and peek into skywell courtyards draped with grapevines. Then visit Id Kah Mosque: the largest one in China. Overnight: KashgarDay 3: Kashgar → Tashkorgan (300km, 6hrs via G314)

Then traverse Oytagh Valley’s Martian-red cliffs – keep cameras ready for wild Bactrian camels. Next, pause at White Sand Lake (Baisha Hu): Walk the boardwalk through dunes that “sing” in the wind.
