What kind of people would like snow mountains?

K2 is the second highest peak in the world, located on the border of China and Pakistan. 1. Recommended attractions: - K2 Base Camp: This is the starting point for climbers to challenge K2, and it is also a good place to feel the charm of the peak at close range. Here you can see climbers from all over the world preparing, and the base camp is surrounded by magnificent mountains, vast grasslands and clear streams, and the natural scenery is beautiful. - Muztagh Ata: Not far from K2, it is 7509 meters above sea level and is known as the "Father of Icebergs". You can enjoy the spectacular glacier scenery, the huge glacier winding down like a silver dragon, shining dazzling light in the sun. There is also a rich plateau ecosystem around it, which is a good place to watch wildlife and plateau plants. - Tashkurgan Stone City: An important post on the ancient Silk Road, it was once the royal city of Puli, one of the 36 countries in the Western Regions. The stone city is built on the mountain, and the city walls, forts, houses and other sites are scattered, as if telling the glory and vicissitudes of the past. Standing on the stone city, you can overlook the whole view of Tashkurgan County, and the distant snow-capped mountains and grasslands reflect each other, forming a beautiful picture. 2. Best travel time: - The climate conditions of K2 are harsh. The lowest temperature on the top of the mountain in winter can reach -50°C, and the maximum wind speed can reach more than 25 meters/second, which is not suitable for tourism.
