When traveling to Kashgar in April, the following are recommended must-visit places:
Apricot Blossom Destinations on the Pamir Plateau:
April is the season when the apricot blossoms are in full bloom on the Pamir Plateau. It will turn into a dreamy sea of apricot blossoms. You can delve into the mysterious hinterland of the Pamir Plateau, encounter peaceful villages under ancient apricot trees, and appreciate the magnificent works of nature and rich ethnic customs.
Taltajik Township, Datong Township, and Kukexiluke Township are all excellent places to admire apricot blossoms. Each location allows you to capture poetic scenes of life merging with nature.
Kashgar Old Town:
Kashgar Old Town is a great place to feel the unique charm of history intertwined with modernity. You can walk through the streets of the old town, experience the strong ethnic atmosphere, watch ethnic dance performances, and taste delicious baked stuffed buns.
The night view of Kashgar Old Town is also very beautiful. Although it has become somewhat commercialized, it is still worth seeing, as if you can travel back in time to a thousand years ago.
Xiangfei Garden:
Xiangfei Garden is a place full of exotic charm. If you plan to visit, it is recommended to go on non-holiday days, where it will be very quiet, and certain corners will make you feel like you’re in the exotic setting of ‘Aladdin’s Lamp’.
Surrounding Attractions:
If you have enough time, you can also consider visiting the surrounding attractions such as Muztagh Ata, the盘龙 Ancient Road (a nickname for a scenic road in Xinjiang, China), and Bandir Blue Lake. The natural scenery and cultural landscapes of these places are equally enchanting.
In summary, traveling to Kashgar in April allows you to enjoy the apricot blossom feast on the Pamir Plateau, feel the historical charm of Kashgar Old Town, explore the exotic atmosphere of Xiangfei Garden, and visit the surrounding natural scenery. This is an unforgettable travel experience, and I believe you will gain many fond memories.
