I know, there is a border cross straight from China to Tajikistan.

We have been doing a little more research and was wondering which way is best to go – from Urumqi down the Cross desert highway and up to Hotan and Kashgar that way and fly back to Urumqi to fly out to Shanghai or go the northern silk road to Kashgar and down to Hotan then back to Kashgar etc. Any suggestions?
