【Travelogue of the Eye of Pamir】
Last year, I finally embarked on the long-awaited trip to southern Xinjiang and visited the mysterious Muztagh volcano. This place, known as the "Eye of Pamir", is said to be the highest volcano in China, but it has not yet been opened to the public, which makes people curious👀🌋.
Now, I want to share with you my adventure experience, as well as some practical strategies and precautions🗺️🧭.
⛰️【Mystery Guide】📝
1️⃣ Self-driving round trip to Kashgar on the same day is the most convenient way. Although the travel agency has not yet included it in the regular route, driving by yourself can experience the purest adventure🚗💨.
2️⃣ Navigate directly to the Muztagh volcano. After a four-hour drive, the road condition from Kashgar to the scenic area is satisfactory. The parking lot is only a 20-minute walk from the popular water volcano, and you can easily reach it along the obvious road and plank road🚶♂️🌄.
3️⃣ Border defense certificate must be carried, and make sure the destination includes Kizilsu Kirghiz Autonomous Prefecture. In fact, only one checkpoint was encountered, and the staff let go after a simple check👮♂️📃.
4️⃣ If you have a drone, don't forget to bring it! When the battery is low, you can charge it in the bathroom of the parking lot. There are fewer people at noon, which is the best time to shoot. Now you can still go to the volcano, but maybe you can't after it officially opens next year, so seize the opportunity🚁🔋!
🚗【Minefield Reminder】⚠️
1️⃣ Pay attention to the Muztagh border road after National Highway 314, which has speed measurement throughout, with a speed limit of 40 kilometers/hour. Because the road is unblocked, it is easy to speed, and the car navigation may not have a section speed measurement prompt, it is recommended to use mobile phone navigation📱🚦.
2️⃣ It is not allowed to drive into the vicinity of the volcano in the scenic area, and there are always staff patrolling. Although some people try to sneak around, they will be found and stopped immediately🚫🚗.
The mystery and magnificence of the Muztagh volcano is an unforgettable memory in my trip🤩📸. If you also plan to go, remember to follow the rules and explore safely. Looking forward to the official opening in 2024, I believe it will bring a more perfect tourist experience👍🎒.
1500 years ago, volcanic eruptions once poured out of the ground calcium, iron and manganese Hua, and now the land is still colorful. The mysterious land in Muji Township, Aktao County, Xinjiang, records this beautiful scenery with a lens.
Very beautiful and beautiful scenery, the place I want to come, the air is very fresh, but there are a lot of mosquitoes here, especially large, when the sun is about to set, the mosquitoes will come out, you must be protected.
It is unknown that no one can think of such a scenery as the crater, such as Tengchong in Yunnan, where many hot springs are left after the eruption of the volcano, forming a wonderful scenery, which is really eye-opening.
This trip to Xinjiang is very much going to the Muji Township crater, ask if you let it in now, do you know?
It’s a pity that the mainlanders go to Kashgar once. Last year, they went to Ta County and passed Aktao. I thought Aktao had no scenic spots. I missed the Muji crater.
Beautiful scenery here, beautiful mountains and rivers
