As the ancient Silk Road's final Chinese pass, it served as a vital gateway for Central Plains civilization and cultural exchange. After breakfast, explore Stone City (石头城), a crucial Silk Road fortress. Originally the capital of the ancient Puli Kingdom (蒲犁国) during the Han Dynasty, it became the Pamir Plateau's largest post station under Tang rule. Notably, famous Buddhist monk Xuanzang (玄奘) stayed here for 22 days to preach on his return journey from India. Perched high on a steep hill, the fortress features massive, hand-piled stone walls. Exploring these ancient ruins allows travelers to imagine historic merchants, monks, and explorers passing through, while marveling at how Tajik ancestors crafted such an architectural marvel over a millennium ago without modern equipment.

Along the way, you'll pass the striking Salt Lake and the impressive wind power station, the largest in Asia, at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains. Located in eastern Xinjiang, Turpan (吐鲁番) lies in a depression 154 meters below sea level—the second-lowest in the world. Famous as China's "Fire Land" for its extreme heat, this vital Silk Road oasis historically connected East and West. Today, the area is dotted with historic treasures, including ancient city ruins, desert fortresses, and centuries-old Buddhist cave complexes showcasing its rich cultural heritage.

Tip: there's no shelter inside the ruins, so bring sun protection. Head to the Karez System (坎儿井), an ancient underground irrigation network with a history of over 2,000 years that transformed barren desert into lush oasis, considered one of China's three great engineering projects alongside the Great Wall and Grand Canal, and named to the 2024 World Irrigation Project Heritage list. Often called the "Underground Great Wall," Xinjiang's 1,700+ karez wells would stretch over 5,000 kilometers if connected. Step inside to uncover how ancient people built this mysterious hydraulic marvel without modern tools. Continue to Emin Minaret (额敏塔), also known as Sugong Ta (苏公塔), the tallest Islamic minaret in Xinjiang. Built in 1778 by ruler Suleiman to honor his father Emin Khoja, the 44-meter sun-dried brick tower tapers elegantly to an ornate dome. Uyghur artisans crafted up to 15 brick patterns—waves, diamonds, florals—into looping designs. Visit the accompanying mosque, a cultural icon blending Islamic and Uyghur traditions. After the tour, be escorted to your hotel in Turpan.
