Exploring the Pamir Plateau China's only Caucasian county On the Pamir Plateau, there is a county town with an average altitude of over 4000 meters, inhabited by China's only Caucasian population, which is Tashkurgan, commonly referred to as Taxkorgan County. This place borders Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Tajikistan, and has been rated by National Geographic as the most impressive county. It is like a dazzling pearl inlaid on the Pamir Plateau. Here, you can find snow-capped mountains welcoming the wind, herds of cattle and sheep on the Tian Ge pasture, the mysterious and majestic Kunlun Mountain area, and the 'Roof of the World' Pamir Plateau, which is the ancestor of all mountains and the source of all rivers. Within the territory of Taxkorgan, there are 4 peaks over 8000 meters high, accounting for one-third of the world's total, presenting a majestic and spectacular sight that takes one's breath away. The Karakoram Highway is like a giant dragon winding through this magical land, with over 100 peaks along the way that exceed 7000 meters in altitude. Glacial meltwater nourishes the lush grasslands, creating a paradise for wild animals and providing pastures essential for the survival of nomadic tribes. The Tajik people, known as the 'People above the Clouds', not only draw attention with their unique culture and traditions but also carry the important mission of guarding the frontier, closely connected to this land. Let us walk into the snow mountains together, feel their majesty and tranquility, and follow the Karakoram Highway into Taxkorgan, experiencing the Tajik people's love and dedication to this land.
