The starry sky at the peak of Pamir is dazzling, with the Milky Way spreading like a silver ribbon

Located in the western border of Xinjiang, China, and the eastern part of the Pamir Plateau, the Pamir Tourism Area was a crucial passage on the ancient Silk Road’s southern and middle routes to West Asia, South Asia, and Europe, carrying profound historical memories. During the Tang Dynasty, the Congling Guard City was established here, and in the Yuan Dynasty, a post station was set up. This area boasts rich tourism resources and picturesque scenery. The world-famous ancient Stone City ruins bear witness to the passage of time; the unique Tajik customs and culture are full of exotic charm; the national wetland park Jincao Beach spreads like a green velvet carpet; the Silk Road culture is long-standing, and the plateau’s biological diversity is rare and precious. Here, you can experience the harmony between humans and nature. At the peak of Pamir, you can enjoy the breathtaking view of the Milky Way spreading like a silver ribbon and twinkling stars at night, telling the vastness and mystery of the plateau, immersing you in tranquility and romance. The overall planned area of the scenic spot is 3.1 square kilometers, consisting of five major zones, and it was successfully designated a national 5A-level tourist attraction in 2019. Come to the Pamir Tourism Area and embark on an exciting journey that combines natural scenery, history, culture, and folk customs!
