The apricot blossoms here are known as the most beautiful spring scenery in southern Xinjiang.

Immersive Secret Exploration - Tahman Wetland 🌸✨Secret Exploration | "The Land of Divine Flowers" on the Pamir Plateau - Tahman Wetland 🏞Travel through Tashkurgan and into the embrace of the Pamirs to discover the fairyland of Tahman Wetland, a place that has been gently treated by time and is known as the "Land of Divine Flowers" by locals. 🎬Remember the movie Visitors on the Icy Mountain? The classic film was shot nearby, and every step you take feels like stepping into a movie scene, experiencing the romance and magnificence that transcends time and space. "Tahman" means "surrounded by mountains" in Tajik, and it nestles at the foot of Muztagh Ata, the "Father of Ice Mountains," where the breeze from Karakul Lake caresses your face, and the snow-capped peaks and streams weave the most touching poem📖. Have you heard the legend of the "Divine Flower"? In the distant Pamir Plateau, Tahman Wetland is the witness of this myth, known as the "Land of Divine Flowers." According to the ancient legend of the Tajik people, the Pamirs were once a flowerless wasteland, with only the "Divine Paradise" at the top of Muztagh Ata hiding a sea of colorful flowers. A brave and fearless Tajik youth, longing for beauty, went through countless hardships and finally climbed to the sacred place, bringing back two miraculous divine flower seeds. He sowed these two precious gifts on the land of Tahman, and a miracle happened! The once desolate wetland gradually donned a colorful coat, with flowers blooming and fragrance wafting, turning Tahman into the most dazzling pearl on the Pamir Plateau. Here, the sky is so low that it seems within reach, the grassland is vast and boundless, and cattle and horses leisurely graze, like ink dots scattered on a golden velvet carpet. Streams meander through the grassland, and the brown hills and snow-capped peaks create a picturesque scene, each frame a masterpiece of nature. The simple blue, white, and red buildings, along with the cattle and sheep in the wetland, paint a vivid pastoral song, allowing you to feel the most simple and warm human touch of the Pamir Plateau. A one-hour drive from Tashkurgan County will take you to this earthly paradise. In summer, mountain springs converge, flowers bloom, and green grass abounds; in autumn, the land turns golden, like a giant carpet laid out by nature, waiting for you to explore and indulge. 📍Address: Navigate to "Tahman Wetland Park Viewing Platform," located in Tashkurgan Tajik Autonomous County, Kashgar Prefecture, Xinjiang 🔥Recommendation: ★★★★☆ 🎫Tickets: None 📸Photography Tips: ✅For aerial shots, take off directly from the parking lot. ✅For ground shots, walk up to the viewing platform for shooting.

Many people ask me why I don't go to Northern Xinjiang in June, where it's more beautiful. Southern Xinjiang has its own desolation and grandeur, maybe not such a lush grass sea, but still reflecting the Gobi and snow mountains. On the road in Taxkorgan, there is always an endless landscape, and eyes that can't rest. I love the stretching green, and even more, the vast heaven and earth. ✅Must experience: Tashkurgan Wetland Recommended 5🌟 Oxygen cultural and creative products are also great to buy! Bai Sha Lake Recommended 4🌟 The wind is particularly strong! Red Mountain Valley 3🌟 Stone City + Golden Beach Recommended 4🌟 A good spot for long-focus photography of the snow mountains!

From the sea-level county of Toksun, after three days of trekking, we finally reached the highest county in Xinjiang by altitude—Tashkurgan County. Tashkurgan County is one of the places with snow-capped peaks over 8000 meters above sea level. It is home to peaks such as Qogir, Broad Peak, Gasherbrum II, and Gasherbrum I. Driving more than 300 kilometers along the China-Pakistan Friendship Highway, one can see many snow mountains along the way, including Kongur Tagh, Muztagh Ata, and other stunning landscapes like the Pamir White Sand Lake, Karakul Lake, and the Tashkurgan Wetland.
