The Pamir Plateau, so beautiful it brings tears to your eyes, is worth the journey even with the risk of altitude sickness
🚀 **Day 1**: Departing from Kashgar, heading to the edge of the sky! 🌄
📍 **Oytagh Glacier Park** (10:00-13:50): Facing the morning light, we set off alongside the snow-capped mountains, reaching this kingdom of ice and snow by noon. 💰 A 45 yuan ticket + 6 yuan shuttle fee takes you up close to the stunning beauty at an altitude of 2804 meters. Want to save energy for conquering Kanas? You can take the summit path here as you see fit! 🏔️🧗♂️
📍 **White Sand Lake** (16:02-16:40): In the afternoon, we stepped into a natural wonder of dual tones, half desert and half emerald sea, as if entering a fairyland. 💰 A 30 yuan ticket, plus an extra yak ride, although accompanied by some small flying insects as 'escorts', turns out to be a blockbuster maker for the camera! You on the back of a yak, framed with the scenery, are unspeakably beautiful! Animal-friendly reminder: They are just curious and mean no harm! Let's start protecting nature with our own actions! 📷🐂
📍 **Karakul Lake** (17:43-18:20): The altitude climbs to 3600 meters, and the Karakul Lake in front of you reflects the beauty of the Muztagh Ata Peak, tremblingly beautiful but also quietly bringing on altitude sickness. Stroll along the boardwalk, a distant view is enough, leave the romance of horseback riding for days at lower altitudes! 🚫🐴
📍 **Muztagh Ata Peak** (18:50): Regret always coexists with beauty, we missed the entry time and only captured the silhouette under the sunset outside the gate. A friendly reminder for those driving: set off early, don't let the beauty stay outside the car window! 🌅🚗
🏡 **Overnight in Taxkorgan**: As night falls, the embrace of Taxkorgan is as warm as home, and a steaming hot pot is the best weapon against the cold night. Dressed in a windbreaker, long sleeves, and pants, the temperature under the starry sky is just right for gentle dreams. 🍲🌙
🚀 **Day 2**: Continue towards the unknown, bravely moving forward! 🛤️
📍 **Panlong Ancient Path** (11:00-13:10): Tackling more than 600 bends is no joke! A full breakfast and a complete set of medicines are essential for conquering this legendary mountain road. Don't forget, the beautiful scenery always awaits you after the twists and turns. Amidst the winding roads, remember to appreciate the beauty that comes with both shock and thrill! 🛣️💊
📍 **Bandier Blue Lake** (13:50-15:00): Under the afternoon sun, the blue lake shines like a gem, and the altitude of 3000 meters feels surprisingly accessible. Walking by the lake, every step seems to be taken in a fairy tale. 👣✨
🚗 **Return to Kashgar**: Passing through Muztagh Ata Peak and White Sand Lake again, the scenery on National Highway 314 offers new discoveries every time you look back. The roads of Xinjiang are long, but they are full of stories. 🛣️📚
📝 **Thoughtful Tips**:
1. 💨 At high altitudes, tread lightly, as altitude sickness can come uninvited. Oxygen tanks are your personal bodyguards!
2. 💪🏥 A sports watch and a pulse oximeter are your little health radars, always on standby. Safety first, seek medical attention if you feel unwell, and don't be careless!
3. 🍜🚗 Xinjiang's cuisine is delicious, but it's more important to have provisions on the road, after all, the beautiful scenery is always in the distance.
4. 🧥❄️ In places with large temperature differences, the philosophy of dressing is key, don't let the cool breeze at night steal your warmth.
The Pamir Plateau, a magical place that makes you cry and laugh, its beauty is worth all your preparation and perseverance. 👋🏼💖
The scenery of the Pamir Plateau is infinitely worth a visit! This road is snowy mountains, glaciers, grasslands, cattle and sheep, camels, deserts, and lakes under the blue sky and white clouds! And Xinjiang specialties are so fragrant! Great beauty Xinjiang! ! !
The ticket office can ask a tour guide. First, the sand plate in the ticket office will explain the entire terrain and surrounding attractions to you. After entering the stone city, you will be explained to you. However, I feel that the content of the explanation is not too much. If you join a group, you can also. If three or two, it doesn't feel necessary.
There are oxygen cylinders sold at the ticket office of the scenic spot, and there is no need to buy them at all. Most people have no reaction at this height, and the oxygen cylinders they sell are so expensive. There is yak beef hot pot opposite the price is very high.
Also, it feels that the tickets are still a bit expensive, the scenic spot is particularly small in the off-season, and it is still very good to walk around. The core area of Taxian County is not very big, and there are one-stop places to eat, drink and live nearby.
The Pamir Plateau has always felt like a place that is out of reach, but I didn't expect it to come. The average altitude is more than 4,500, and the hotel sleeping in the county at night is more than 3,000 meters away, but I am very happy that there is no altitude sickness this time. When I first entered the plateau, I was really excited. The scenery along the way was exactly the same as I imagined. Most of the mountains above 6,000 meters in the world are here, and the deepest lake is 286 meters. It can be imagined how clear it is.
On the 94th day of the poor tour of China, the Pamir Plateau Pamir Plateau is Persian, meaning flat roof. The Han Dynasty of China was proportionate to the green onion, and the ancient Silk Road passed here. The Pamir Plateau spans southwest China's Xinjiang, southeast Tajikistan, and northeast Afghanistan. It is a huge mountain knot at the intersection of Kunlun, Karakoram, Hindu Kush and Tianshan Mountains. Most of the people who went to Pamirgao's original tours went to Tashkurgan Tajik Autonomous County (referred to as Ta County) in the northeast. There are Baisha Mountain Baisha Lake Scenic Area, Stone City Site, Mustag Peak (father of icebergs), Hongqilafu Port (China's only land port to Pakistan), there are also China-Pakistan border pillars 7 and spectacular national gates. Of course, there is also a very important place to check in. First sell a Guanzi ~ after entering the mountain, the first attraction is Baisha Mountain Baisha Lake. White sand mountain is also called "Xiangsha Mountain", the mountain is Brunkule Lake in front of the mountain, the mountain is ChaClark Lake, the water and grass are fat, the blue mountain is covered by white sand, half covered, and the snowy mountains on the top of the mountain and the lake under the mountain together, forming a group of beautiful pictures! Tashkurgan Stone City is one of the three most famous stone cities in the history of China. More than a thousand years ago, the people of the country of Selekur built it in 120 days. There has been prosperity and war. It stands on a large rock, at the foot of the Aral grassy beach, where the Tashkurgan River runs by. More than a thousand years ago, the Tajiks had no advanced tools, but they completed the grand and magnificent project of the Stone City in a very short time. Yesterday I had gone to the port of Ilktan, and this time I did not go to the port of Hongqila. 1. The beautiful snowy mountains on the Pamir Plateau 2. Entered the mountain 3.

When I first entered the Pamir Plateau, I felt the yellow sand, all over the Gobi, desert and desert beaches, desert and desolate. But after slowly entering, it was found that the ecological environment on the Pamir Plateau was extremely rich, and various plants and animals were also rich in variety, and even videos of eagles flying soaring. The snow-capped mountains melted water throughout the year, pouring out a large area of natural pastures, cattle and horses, especially herds of yaks, were strong and fruitful. The green grass, the middle pond was covered with microwaves, reflecting the blue sky, white clouds, and snow-capped mountains, which were like dreams.
A good place to travel by car. . . Panlong Ancient Road is really curved and the scenery is beautiful. . . . There are also droughts, as cute as groundhogs. . . . Baisha Lake is also really beautiful. . The only thing is that the Hongqilafu port is not directly open, which will be deducted. . .
