    The Fragrant Concubine Garden is truly a captivating place! Upon entering, one is immediately drawn to its rich Islamic architectural style, with blue domes adorned with carved columns and glazed tiles shimmering with colorful light—every detail is exquisitely crafted. Following the guide, we delved into the legendary story of Fragrant Concubine and the folk culture of the Uyghur people, gaining a wealth of knowledge. The live performances within the garden were also spectacular; the actors, dressed in magnificent costumes, vividly recreated the life of Fragrant Concubine through song and dance, making the audience feel as if they had traveled back to that era.

    The actual altitude of the national gate is about 4,600, 120 kilometers away from Ta County. Because of the limited time and altitude climbing, the drive is about 2 hours, and the round trip takes 4 hours. ⚠️ The drone cannot be brought, it cannot be broadcast live on the spot, and military facilities cannot be sent from the media.

    Fantastic place for exploration when you are in Shache. The entry price is reasonable. The site is rather basic but there are a lot of history to appreciate from during the Khanate period. This historical site can be done quickly or slowly depending on how much detail you want to learn about the old Khanate. Overall, this tomb should not be given a miss when in Shache / Yarkant.

    The overall environment of the scenic area is so-so, and it operates under a commercial model... Since the scenic area is quite large, older people are advised to take the sightseeing bus. Younger people with enough time can rent bicycles, but only a small portion of the space is worth seeing!

    It is an artificially built imitation of an ancient scenic spot, but it is still very photogenic. It is suitable for passing by to check in and take photos. You can ride on horses to enter and exit the scenic area, which is very interesting. Although it is an artificial scenic spot, the photos can still give people a feeling of traveling through time and space.
