Share? Publish? Update? Ask? The reason we named this series "Tibetan Antelope" is because self-guided travelers, like Tibetan antelopes, love freedom and the exuberance of life. That is our ideal—to roam freely on the plateau and in the mountains, getting close to nature with our hearts. Xinjiang is a place where some of the deepest and most extraordinary elements of the Earth are blended together. East Xinjiang, North Xinjiang, South Xinjiang, and the Tianshan West Line (Ili Region) are completely distinct, and even in a very short journey—such as from Korla to Kuche—your perception will constantly be transformed by a series of neighboring yet vastly different spaces. In this book, we may be able to show you some parts of this richness, but never all of it. In this world, Xinjiang is one of the few cultural crossroads, where people not only seek its long-standing indigenous culture but also the golden essence of various other forgotten cultures.
