Hiking a 2000-year-old trail in Xinjiang, China | Wusun Ancient Trail

This summer, on June 1, 2025, I finally hiked the Wusun Ancient Trail in Xinjiang, China, something that had been on my bucket list since I started doing through-hikes three years ago. 74 miles across the Tianshan Mountains from north to south, hiking through grasslands, river valleys, alpine lakes, and high-altitude passes, while experiencing the unique Chinese–Kazakh culture. This was once a migration route of the Wusun people, a nomadic Indo-European tribe and important allies of the Han Dynasty over 2,000 years ago. Over time, it became a vital link between northern and southern Xinjiang, carrying jade, silk, livestock, and stories through the Tianshan Mountains. Having spent six days completely offline in these mountains, I couldn’t help but be amazed by the fact that while the outside world keeps changing, life here has remained almost untouched for thousands of years. 00:00 - Intro 00:50 - Day 1 03:31 - Day 2 05:14 - Day 3 07:44 - Day 4 12:41 - Day 5 15:47 - Day 6 Find me on:   / sandy_inthewild   https://www.tiktok.com/@sandy_in_the_...
