Southern Xinjiang

Entering the deserted Gobi Desert along the trajectory, does it have the desolate feeling of "leaving Yangguan in the west without any old friends" as mentioned in the poem. We are following the footsteps of Zhang Qian's journey to the Western Regions and unveiling the mysterious veil of Xinjiang, which has been known as the Western Regions since ancient times. In the hinterland of the Eurasian continent, south of the Tianshan Mountains, there are not only Populus euphratica forests, but also landscapes such as high mountains, dangerous peaks, lakes, grasslands, and canyons, as well as ancient civilizations that have lasted for thousands of years. This place gathers 80% of Xinjiang's ethnic minorities, who are interdependent, complex, and inclusive, giving this land a unique charm. This is Southern Xinjiang.
