Old Zhanyou Hotel (Karasu Port Branch)

Very bad, more than 160 yuan but there is not even a kettle, no public water dispenser in the corridor, I couldn't understand what I wanted to eat, so I had to order instant noodles

It is actually a small inn located next to Karasu Port, which is a land port between Tajikistan and China. When we came down from Muztag Glacier Park, the altitude sickness was quite severe and I felt dizzy and headache-y. I thought it would be best to find a place to stay nearby to rest. This hotel is a ten-minute drive south of Muztag Glacier Park. If it’s already dark when you come out of Glacier Park and don’t want to drive with poor visibility all the way to Ta County, this small inn is a good choice. It is actually more like our mainland hotels in the 1980s. The beds in the rooms are relatively hard and the bathrooms are shared. But there is floor heating. At an altitude of 3700 in early May, the night temperature is close to zero. Floor heating will make you feel much more comfortable. The bedding is not particularly clean and there are no towels. But with the pounding headache, we really couldn't afford to be picky. After all, the conditions in this place are difficult A Tajik girl manages tourist registration and runs a small shop, and a Tajik young man cooks. The food is very delicious and at low prices. There is a constant supply of drinking water boiled from snow water, and the water in the faucet for washing your face and brushing your teeth is warm. We found that many of the guests were Tajikistan logistics drivers, which was a very interesting experience. After checking out in the morning, we walked slowly towards Ta County, passing by the Taheman Wetland in the morning light. The light and time were perfect.
