Compared to Altay! I love the mysterious ancient city of Southern Xinjiang more

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.
