Detailed Itinerary：

After breakfast start your a day private trip to Shiton's Arch which is 90kms from kashgar,  called in Uighur is(ToshukTagh) in simplified Chinese(Tian Men ).It is probably the world's tallest natural arch. 

It was famously visited in 1947 by English mountaineer Eric Shipton during his trip to the kashgar. It was only as recently as May 2000 that an expedition sponsored by national geographic rediscovered the arch for foreigners. Today, several companies operating out of Kashgar offer day trips to the arch for tourists. The arch is about a one- to two-hour drive from Kashgar in addition to another one- to two-hour hike. It used to be that visitors were guided by locals and required to climb shaky ladders on their way to the arch but China has since invested money into a visitor's center, staircases and a viewing deck. The height of the arch is estimated to be 1,500 feet (460 m).
