The Pamir Tourism Zone in Kashi Prefecture is the first scenic area in China to be named an international tourist destination.?
The Pamir Tourism Zone in Kashi Prefecture is located in Taxkorgan Tajik Autonomous County, Kashi Prefecture, Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. It attracts more and more domestic and foreign tourists with its magnificent plateau scenery, profound human history, and splendid ethnic customs. Since the National Tourism Administration awarded the Pamir Tourism Zone the honorary title of ‘China’s International Plateau Folk Tourism Destination’ in July 2015, as the first scenic area in China to be named an international tourist destination, the Pamir Tourism Zone has seen a continuous increase in tourist numbers and growing fame.?
Kashi Prefecture not only boasts the Pamir Tourism Zone as an international tourist destination, but also deeply explores unique cultural tourism resources such as historical culture, red culture, ecological culture, and folk customs, continuously improving the quality and level of tourism services. It has successfully transformed tourism resources into competitive industries and become an important business card for tourism in Xinjiang.?
. Kashi Prefecture has thus been honored with the title of the All-for-One Tourism Demonstration Zone of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, further confirming its profound cultural heritage and good social governance level.?
