The presence, so rare on this road, of an oasis, has made Hotan an indispensable stage for caravans on the southern road. Despite centuries of camel passages loaded with silk, it is now mainly for his jade that Hotan is known. For travellers of the st century, Hotan is mainly the opportunity to rediscover civilisation (hotels worthy of this name, bank distributor…) and to enjoy the atmosphere of a city that lets itself live six days a week, waiting for its weekly market of Sunday, as famous as Kashgar, but still saved by tourism. It will also be time to make a choice: from Hotan you can continue the road from the south to Yarkand or choose to cross the whole Taklamakan to reach the road from the north to Aksu and do a little on both roads. But beware: The journey can be very painful during the day because of the heat. There is the solution to travel at night, but you will not enjoy the magnificent landscapes offered by the desert. You can see!
