2025 Yecheng Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

This year, Altay can be described as crowded with people. Compared to Northern Xinjiang, I love the small towns of Southern Xinjiang more, especially the ancient city of Shache. With a history of over 3000 years, it is an important passage of the Silk Road and has several times become a famous tribal state in the Western Regions. The rich Western Regions' cultural atmosphere combined with the ancient characteristic buildings are worth spending a few days leisurely strolling in the ancient city~ Yecheng. Visiting the famous Xitiya Mystery City, also known as the "Immortal Cliff", through the wind and rain-eroded ruins, you can vaguely see the ancient city's past glory. Walking in it, it feels like traveling back to the ancient Western Regions. - Three days and two nights travel guide: - DAYO: Landing at Kashgar Airport - Shache - Old City Cultural Center - Homeland of Muqam Restaurant - Old City Road/Golbagh Road - Old City Night Market - DAY❷: Shache Museum - New Unity Tea Shop - Kazanqi Folk Street - Characteristic Alley - DAYO: Xitiya Mystery City - New Tibet Line Starting Point Landmark Check-in - Yecheng County Museum - Walnut Seven Immortals Garden Travel tips: 1. Visit Shache ancient city for the first two days, and Yecheng on the third day. It is recommended to rent a car after landing at Kashgar Airport for convenience. 2. The Twelve Muqam performance at the Old City Cultural Center has two time slots, 12:30 and 17:30. This is one of the world's intangible cultural heritages, and you must watch it if you come. There are also interactive sessions that are very interesting. 3. The New Unity Tea Shop has a very lively atmosphere. Afternoon tea costs only one yuan per pot, but you need to prepare cash in advance. 4. Kazanqi Folk Street is very suitable for taking photos and checking in. Many Xinjiang-style houses are very photogenic. 5. Visiting and taking photos in Xitiya Mystery City requires half a day. The Walnut Seven Immortals Garden is not easy to get a taxi to, so it is best to rent or charter a car to go there. ~ Photo check-in guide: 1. Shache ancient city is very suitable for taking cultural and street photos. Kazanqi Folk Street is more photogenic. ② The Old City Night Market is also more suitable for taking photos and checking in at night, with a very lively atmosphere. ~ Try to visit Xitiya Mystery City in the afternoon to catch the sunset for better photos. The New Tibet Line sign at the entrance of Xitiya Mystery City is also worth checking in. The zero-kilometer mark of the New Tibet Line is very photogenic for taking photos next to the sign.

Light falls on the Karakoram snow-capped mountains🏔️ Outdoor composition techniques||| During my ten-plus days trekking to K2 Base Camp in Pakistan, my lens became the "light and shadow poet" of the Karakoram, using composition as a brush to capture the grandeur of snow-capped peaks, the deep blue of glaciers, and the tenacity of humans in the wilderness, weaving them into stunning frames of outdoor storytelling. 🌄 Composition 1: "Diagonal of Smallness and Grandeur" Place hikers, tents, or plants in a corner of the frame, contrasting with the majestic snow-capped mountains in the distance. The compression effect of a telephoto lens and the perspective of a wide-angle lens create an extraordinary visual impact. Life is but punctuation in the wilderness, yet its vibrancy is as striking as the awe-inspiring power of the mountains. ❄️ Composition 2: "Symmetrical Aesthetics of Glacial Caves" Frame the blue-green veins of an ice cave with symmetrical composition, positioning a figure at the golden ratio point to serve as a warm anchor in the cold world. The overlapping reflections of icicles and reality naturally form a cinematic frame. ⛰️ Composition 3: "Layered Snow Peaks in Light and Shadow" Use a telephoto lens + tripod to focus on the mist swirling around the mountain peaks. In post-processing, darken the sky background to make the golden snow ridges "emerge" from the shadows—each snow line is a mark of time. What other composition techniques do you use when trekking in the snow-capped mountains?

Xiyetiya Mystery City Scenic Spot (西夜 迷城景区, Xitiya Mystery City Scenic Spot: Kargilik County, Kashgar Prefecture, Xinjiang, China) is nicknamed the lost ancient city. It is located on a slightly elevated area, 1 km long and 1.5~2 km wide, on the G315 National Highway in Luoke Township (叶城县 洛克乡), 11 km from Yecheng. The ancient city gate, which looks mottled from afar, arouses my curiosity and draws me in. Come on! This is the city night view! After getting a ticket at the entrance ticket office on the G315 National Highway, slowly walk into the city night view. It is 1.5 km. The Lost City City Night Viewing Area is believed to be the city of the Khans of the Karakhan Dynasty built in the late 11th century. Many cultural relics such as pottery, ceramics, stone water jugs, daggers, coins, bronze jars, and ornaments have been discovered, but the date is unknown, so it is called the Lost City. The ancient city site, which had been sleeping in the sandy sea of ​​the Taklamakan Desert for a thousand years, was destroyed during the westward advance of the Genghis Khans, and was completely destroyed again during the Cultural Revolution when it was reclaimed and turned into a collective farm. It is very unfortunate that relics are still being excavated from the farmland around the site. The yellow earthen buildings inside the ruins consist of the palace and the city wall tombs. When you climb up to the roof of the palace and look north, the sandy sea of ​​the Taklamakan Desert spreads endlessly, and the desert and the Sitya ruins are plunged into the silence of the abyss, making the travelers' hearts feel lonely and desolate. The strong wind that brushes past your ears now pushes your back to go down and go back down the stairs. Did someone say that destruction is the best creation? Restoration work is in progress everywhere in the ruins, so it is not easy to pass, but at the entrance checkpoint of the ruins, they unexpectedly issue a driving permit for the Xinjiang-Tibet G219 national highway from Xinjiang to Tibet. It is said that those who have taken the Sitya tour are eligible for the G219 national highway driving permit. After taking a certification photo with the issued permit in the background of the Sitya ruins, we leave the Sithi night view area. Xiyetiya Mystery City Scenic Spot (Xitiya Mystery City Scenic Spot) Opening hours are 10:30-19:00, summer time 10:00-20:00, and the admission fee is 30 yuan/person with a preferential policy (as of March 2025) There is no public transportation route from Yeqing to Xiyetiya Mystery City Scenic Spot, and taking a taxi from Kilometer Zero costs 20 yuan. #Overseas travel #China travel

This is no exaggeration... I was really shocked by the Tasha Trail! October 28, live shooting with mobile phone! From Tashkurgan to Shache, in the first half of the journey, the majestic aura of the Karakoram Mountains greets you, giving you a sense of loneliness as if you are on a distant planet. On the way, we passed through several villages with apricot blossoms in full bloom. Beside the canyons and streams, wild apricot blossoms were blooming in autumn orange. The Yarkand River along the way is like a dazzling sapphire💎. Even on a cloudy day, the color of the river water is still deep and rich. We also unexpectedly discovered a poplar forest in the canyon. We can walk along the slope to the river... Finally, we crossed dozens of kilometers of narrow valleys ⛰️, overlooking the "Xiao Panlong Ancient Road", and the road became relatively flat afterwards. 🚗Self-driving tour suggestions: ✅The road conditions on October 28 were good, with light rain and cloudy weather, with occasional short sunny days. The entire journey through the Tasha Trail takes about 6-7 hours. ✅Except near a few villages, mobile phone signals are weak in most areas. It is recommended to familiarize yourself with key intersections in advance and mark the "Kuzu Checkpoint" at the passing points. ✅The scenery along the way is: Eye of the Pamirs - Blue Lake - Xinghua Village - Poplars in the high mountain Gobi valley - The bluest section of the Yarkand River - The ancient road in the canyon - "Xiao Panlong Ancient Road" - Mountains with red textures. ✅It is recommended to depart from Tashi County as early as possible (preferably before 10 am) and leave the ancient road before 6 pm to avoid driving at night.

After a few days of rest and team formation in Kashgar, we finally began the first day of the G219 Xinjiang-Tibet Highway on September 6. Today, we arrived in Yecheng, the zero-kilometer starting point of the Xinjiang-Tibet Highway is here. On the way, we also passed through Shache, a small town full of exotic charm. Unlike Kashgar, it has fewer tourists and commercialization (the people eating barbecue at the stalls are all locals). Shache County is the largest almond production base in the country, known as the hometown of almonds in China, with ethnic minorities accounting for more than 95% of the population. It has a history of more than 3,000 years. It was a famous tribal kingdom in the Western Regions, successively known as the Kingdom of Shache, the Kingdom of Qusha, and the Yarkand Khanate. The Yarkand Khanate Palace is not open to the public, so we could only check in from the outside, but the Amannisa Khan Tomb is very beautiful. Yecheng also has a 'City of Sitiya Ruins.' 'Sitiya' translates to 'Immortal Cliff' in Chinese. The ruins are estimated to date back to the Tang Dynasty, but this still needs to be verified. However, it is now just an artificial landscape, seemingly a local open activity venue. We happened to catch them holding an event, and then watched the 'Baduanjin' competition between various villages and teams on site for a while. Surprisingly, this is also popular in Xinjiang.

National Highway 219 is also known as Kanas-Dongxing Highway, G219, National Highway 219, Xinjiang-Tibet Highway, and Kadong Line. This national highway starts from Kanas Mongolian Township, Hemu in northern Xinjiang in the north and ends in Dongxing City on the China-Vietnam border in Guangxi in the south. It passes through four provinces and cities, namely Xinjiang, Tibet, Yunnan and Guangxi, and is the border highway of Northwest and Southwest China. Route 219 is 10,065 kilometers long and is the longest national highway in China. Yecheng is the last stop of the Xinjiang-Tibet Line in Xinjiang. From Yecheng, it goes south into the Ali region of Tibet, about 1,080 kilometers away from Ali City. Yecheng County is located in the southwest of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, more than 1,500 kilometers away from the capital Urumqi and 260 kilometers away from Kashgar. It is backed by the Karakoram Mountains and Kunlun Mountains in the south and connected to the open plains in the north. It is close to the Taklimakan Desert and the upper reaches of the Yarkand River. The terrain is high in the south and low in the north. It borders Pakistan and the Indian-controlled Kashmir region, with a border line of more than 80 kilometers. It is a military stronghold on the western border of China, a national key county for poverty alleviation and development, and a border county. It is known as the hometown of walnuts, pomegranates, jade, and singing and dancing in China. Yecheng County is the abbreviation of Yarkand, and the county is named after the Yarkand River. The zero kilometer sign represents the starting point of the Xinjiang-Tibet Highway, which has important geographical and cultural significance. It is not only an important channel from Xinjiang to Tibet, but also an important starting point for many self-driving enthusiasts and travelers. It connects Xinjiang and Tibet and is called the Sky Road, symbolizing a new journey and a new spiritual starting point starting from here. ⏳Play time: It is open to the public free of charge and the duration of the visit is from 10 minutes to 1 day. 👍Most Recommended: The Lost City of Sitia is a very distinctive scenic spot in Yecheng County.

"Sithia" translates to "The Eternal Cliff" in Chinese. According to the "Charm of Yecheng" series, it was founded at the end of the 11th century. Some believe it was the Khan's city during the Kara-Khanid Khanate. It was destroyed in 1218 during Genghis Khan's western expedition. The ruins of the Lost City of Sithia (Sithia Ancient City) are located about 1 kilometer northwest of the People's Government of Luoke Township, 11 kilometers east of Yecheng County in the Kashgar region of Xinjiang, near the Sithia Gully. The site spans an area about 1 kilometer long and 1.5-2 kilometers wide, on a slightly elevated terrain. The Sithia Lost City site is a regional cultural relic protection unit. Inside the city, one can occasionally find remnants such as pottery shards, porcelain pieces, loess, burnt red earth, and human bones. The earthen platforms within the site may have been walls or tomb clusters. In recent years, local farmers working on land reclamation around the site have unearthed various sizes of pottery jars, coins, copper products, and ancient ornaments. There is still a copper vessel about 18 centimeters high in the county, which is exquisitely crafted and of great research value.

About 80 kilometers from the world's second highest peak, Qiaogeli, there is a small village called Kululu. All climbers from the Chinese direction to climb the Jogori peak must first arrive here, then ride a camel and set off from the village of Kululu. Walking hard in the sky, after crossing the 4,720-meter-high Agradda, you enter the Kulai River. The snow-blowns, the Stangel, and the Tramukanli Glacier in the Karakoram Mountains are all developed in the Klein River. Upstream, and finally from this into the Jogori peak base camp sound red beach. The residents of Bullu Village are mainly Kirgiz, with about 60 households in the village. The population is small and there have been few changes in the past few decades. The honest and simple Kirgiz people silently guard their homeland, while also silently guarding the borders and tranquility of the motherland. Most of the young people in the village are now guards. Korke Dai women's clothing, the more difficult the conditions feel, the more the color of the costumes shine. The early villagers mainly planted barley and grazing. Later, because of the mountaineering enthusiasts, many villagers formed a camel team to transport mountaineering enthusiasts and mountaineering equipment to the mountaineering base of Jogori. According to statistics, there are about 170 camels in the village, which are divided into 8 groups. The village committees arrange the rotation of mountaineering materials in a unified manner, giving people a feeling of socialism. Although the village of Kruler is only 80 km from the Jogori peak, but from the Kruler village to the base camp, the camel team takes 15 days to go back and forth.
