About
Shipton's Arch, Heavenly Gate in Chinese, is a well-known site in recent years. This day trip offers you opportunity to explore the imposing Arch from Kashgar while you hike in the valley to get the best photo of the Arch.
At 9:30am Beijing time, you guide will meet you in your centrally located Kashgar city hotel lobby and take a private vehicle driving about 2 hours to Shipton’s Arch for about 200km.
Shipton’s Arch, Tianmen in Chinese, meaning "Heavenly Gate", is a conglomerate natural arch, near the village of Artush in Xinjiang, China. The arch was discovered by English mountaineer Eric Shipton in 1947, though it was known by locals.
It was only as recently as May of the year 2000 that an expedition sponsored by National Geographic Magazine rediscovered the arch for foreigners thus it became well-known. Shipton's Arch is probably the world's tallest natural arch. The height of the arch is estimated to be 370 meters.
Upon arrival, your guide will lead your hike in the valley to get the best view of Shipton's Arch. Picnic lunch is included in the valley.
Afterwards you will be transferred back your Kashgar hotel where the trip concludes.
