The Eye of Pamir is also frozen, but I saw the frost flowers

🌋Have you seen the 'Eye of Pamir' on the Pamir Plateau in Xinjiang? 🌋The Muztagh volcano mouth, located in Akto County, Kizilsu Kirghiz Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang, is known as the 'Eye of Pamir'. 🌋A thousand and five hundred years ago, the volcano erupted here, and the lava that gushed out changed the color of this land to be colorful. After thousands of years of time and wind and frost, the natural landscape here is particularly magnificent. ✨Unlike the usual towering mountain-like volcano mouths, the terrain here is as magical as a plain. ✨The winding river flows through the volcano mouth, and herds of cattle and sheep wander around. ✨From a high altitude, you can see the different colors of water in the volcano mouth. ❄️We didn't do any strategy for this trip, and we didn't expect that the volcano mouth in winter would freeze. ❄️So, what we saw was no longer the colorful earth, but the steaming fog in the volcano mouth, the frost flowers formed on the grass beach, the wild rabbits suddenly appearing in the snow, and the loss and unexpected gains of different seasonal scenery. ⚠️The off-season is almost all-inclusive, and the temperature is surprisingly cold. The toilets at the entrance are temporarily closed, and the shops in the scenic area are also closed. ⚠️It takes a few hundred meters of cement road from the entrance of the scenic area to the volcano mouth (you can choose to ride a horse in the peak season), and you need to walk a long trestle road to the scenic spot sign (Eye of Pamir). ⚠️The weather was very good that day, the sun was slightly warmer, and it is recommended to take pictures after 11 o'clock (it's cold).
