Don't buy Kunlun Tower tickets alone. Avoid wandering in the afternoon heat. Unlock the package deal

If you come to Kashgar, make sure to reserve a spot in your budget for the Kunlun Tower package! This is definitely one of the smartest decisions I made on this trip.

📍Location & Cost-effectiveness
The tower is located on Tuman Road, standing 169 meters tall, and is now the iconic building of Kashgar. Key point‼️
I recommend not buying tickets alone! Go straight for the "ticket + drink" package. For just 10 RMB more, it’s basically like buying a coffee and getting the ticket free, which rounds up to free access to the top!
·
🌇Environment & View
The café is on the seventh floor of the tower, and the elevator goes straight up. The environment is impeccable, with huge glass windows offering a 360-degree unobstructed view. The entire ancient city of Kashgar spreads out like a painting beneath your feet, and you can even see the Kunlun Mountains in the distance. Especially on sunny days, the light and shadow effects are amazing, and every shot looks like a masterpiece.

☕️Experience Tips
✅️Strongly recommend visiting here around 2 or 3 PM when it’s hottest. Don’t wander around the ancient city in the blazing sun! Come up, order a coffee or a specialty milk tea, enjoy the air conditioning, and leisurely watch the scenery.
·
✅️Wait until the sunlight softens before heading back down to continue exploring. This makes your itinerary much more reasonable. We stayed until evening and saw a stunning sunset and the city lights gradually turning on.

💡Personal Tips
· Weather: Make sure to come on a sunny day! The visual effect is at least ten times better (I happened to catch a sandstorm... everything was gray...😤)
· Time: Come in the afternoon to avoid the heat and wait for the sunset and night view—two benefits in one.
· Cost: The package deal offers the best value, even better than buying the Kunlun Tower ticket alone.
