Pamirs Plateau Photos: Trip Moments
Where to go in April, highly recommendedApril is the best time to travel!!! April in spring, a good season! It's the perfect time to see the flowers! Here, I recommend a few places of poetry and distance for everyone. At the end of March and the beginning of April every year, this place will be the most beautiful. 1️⃣ The first place: Peach blossoms in Linzhi, Tibet, known as the 'Little Jiangnan' of Tibet, is really healing! Every year from the end of March to the beginning of April, from 3.15 to 4.15, the Linzhi area is a peach blossom paradise. Snow-capped mountains, peach trees, and barley fields, the villages are like a secret realm, where one could stay for a whole day. 2️⃣ The second place: Apricot blossom villages such as the ancient Tashkurgan Trail and Datong Township in the Pamir Plateau region of Xinjiang. The exotic charm here hides quaint villages, and the mountains and rivers here are full of life in this spring. The ancient apricot trees, with the end of March being the best time to view the blossoms. 3️⃣ Xinjiang Yili Turgen Apricot Blossom Valley, where apricot trees cover the mountains and valleys. The spring here is the most beautiful, in early April, around Qingming, a brief week, interpreting the fairy tale of spring. 🔥 The above three places are the must-visit checkpoints for the spring travel ceiling. If you also long for the spring here, then let's go together!gwendolyn_juniperhale
I came out of Taxkorgan County crying all the way~ How could Pamir be like thisThe eye of the Pamir Plateau at the mouth of Muztagh Volcano 1 On the Pamir Plateau, the beautiful scenery along the way from Taxkorgan County can really make people cry with joy. Especially the grassland at the foot of the snow mountain, golden, always makes people feel that the white snow and yellow grass should be a pair of beauties, standing on the Pamir Plateau all year round, regardless of the wind and sun, and they only care about the clear four seasons Belonging to their beauty. I don't know what you feel, when real life really enters the geography textbook, my feeling is that I want to cry. Standing on the edge of the Muztagh Volcano, looking at the endless snow mountains around, you will be filled with inexplicable emotions by the nature in front of you. That kind of vastness, that kind of cold wind, that kind of endless snow mountain, seems to be telling you that all beings are grass and trees, all beings are equal, and everything in nature will have its fate and destiny. Just like Starting from a book, I became a person who came from thousands of kilometers away Here. The largest wetland grassland on the Pamir Plateau is wrapped in snow mountains, the grass is yellow to Red, looking down from the sky, it looks like a red heart duck egg, this is the imagination space and world of foodies. The only regret is that the drone can only fly 500 meters, which is not high enough to capture the most handsome figure of Pamir. But I have to say that after experiencing the previous few scares of almost crashing, this time it flew the most stableSeekerOfSerenity
Mustagh AtaI touched the glacier at zero distance in southern Xinjiang Mustagh Ata No. 4 Glacier Park Compared with No. 1, 2, 3 glaciers, the biggest advantage of No. 4 is that it is suitable for people with poor health and high anti, the difficulty of arrival is much lower, there is a bus from the ticket office below to the middle, the section that needs to be climbed can also ride a horse up, basically as long as you spend 290, you can comfortably go up and down. In winter, the lake in front of the glacier freezes and you can walk on it, infinitely close to the glacier, there are icicles hanging on the side of the glacier, what needs to be noted here is that they may fall at any time. If you are not a particularly serious high anti crowd, it is still recommended to climb, the horse riding road and the walking road are not the same, the walking road has more slopes, and it is not very steep, if you are tired from climbing, you can look back and see the mountains on the opposite side of Figure 7. :💳+🚌90 Round trip horse riding 200 🔼You need to prepare cash, there is no signal at all above 📷Fuji xs10+50230ElizabethHolmes35

If you haven't been to Southern Xinjiang, you won't know the beauty of Xinjiang - the Pamir PlateauThe mysterious Pamir. If you haven't been to Xinjiang, you won't know the vastness of China; if you haven't been to Southern Xinjiang, you won't know the beauty of Xinjiang.

The Pamir Plateau, so beautiful it brings tears to your eyes, is worth the journey even with the risk of altitude sickness🚀 **Day 1**: Departing from Kashgar, heading to the edge of the sky! 🌄 📍 **Oytagh Glacier Park** (10:00-13:50): Facing the morning light, we set off alongside the snow-capped mountains, reaching this kingdom of ice and snow by noon. 💰 A 45 yuan ticket + 6 yuan shuttle fee takes you up close to the stunning beauty at an altitude of 2804 meters. Want to save energy for conquering Kanas? You can take the summit path here as you see fit! 🏔️🧗♂️ 📍 **White Sand Lake** (16:02-16:40): In the afternoon, we stepped into a natural wonder of dual tones, half desert and half emerald sea, as if entering a fairyland. 💰 A 30 yuan ticket, plus an extra yak ride, although accompanied by some small flying insects as 'escorts', turns out to be a blockbuster maker for the camera! You on the back of a yak, framed with the scenery, are unspeakably beautiful! Animal-friendly reminder: They are just curious and mean no harm! Let's start protecting nature with our own actions! 📷🐂 📍 **Karakul Lake** (17:43-18:20): The altitude climbs to 3600 meters, and the Karakul Lake in front of you reflects the beauty of the Muztagh Ata Peak, tremblingly beautiful but also quietly bringing on altitude sickness. Stroll along the boardwalk, a distant view is enough, leave the romance of horseback riding for days at lower altitudes! 🚫🐴 📍 **Muztagh Ata Peak** (18:50): Regret always coexists with beauty, we missed the entry time and only captured the silhouette under the sunset outside the gate. A friendly reminder for those driving: set off early, don't let the beauty stay outside the car window! 🌅🚗 🏡 **Overnight in Taxkorgan**: As night falls, the embrace of Taxkorgan is as warm as home, and a steaming hot pot is the best weapon against the cold night. Dressed in a windbreaker, long sleeves, and pants, the temperature under the starry sky is just right for gentle dreams. 🍲🌙 🚀 **Day 2**: Continue towards the unknown, bravely moving forward! 🛤️ 📍 **Panlong Ancient Path** (11:00-13:10): Tackling more than 600 bends is no joke! A full breakfast and a complete set of medicines are essential for conquering this legendary mountain road. Don't forget, the beautiful scenery always awaits you after the twists and turns. Amidst the winding roads, remember to appreciate the beauty that comes with both shock and thrill! 🛣️💊 📍 **Bandier Blue Lake** (13:50-15:00): Under the afternoon sun, the blue lake shines like a gem, and the altitude of 3000 meters feels surprisingly accessible. Walking by the lake, every step seems to be taken in a fairy tale. 👣✨ 🚗 **Return to Kashgar**: Passing through Muztagh Ata Peak and White Sand Lake again, the scenery on National Highway 314 offers new discoveries every time you look back. The roads of Xinjiang are long, but they are full of stories. 🛣️📚 📝 **Thoughtful Tips**: 1. 💨 At high altitudes, tread lightly, as altitude sickness can come uninvited. Oxygen tanks are your personal bodyguards! 2. 💪🏥 A sports watch and a pulse oximeter are your little health radars, always on standby. Safety first, seek medical attention if you feel unwell, and don't be careless! 3. 🍜🚗 Xinjiang's cuisine is delicious, but it's more important to have provisions on the road, after all, the beautiful scenery is always in the distance. 4. 🧥❄️ In places with large temperature differences, the philosophy of dressing is key, don't let the cool breeze at night steal your warmth. The Pamir Plateau, a magical place that makes you cry and laugh, its beauty is worth all your preparation and perseverance. 👋🏼💖MARGO GOODWIN
One must visit the Pamir Plateau at least once in a lifetime, even if it means enduring altitude sicknessThe Pamir Plateau, known in ancient China as the Congling, was traversed by the ancient Silk Road. It is located in the southeastern part of Central Asia, at the westernmost point of China, stretching across Tajikistan, China, and Afghanistan. It is the convergence point of several major mountain ranges in Asia. 'Pamir' means 'the roof of the world' in Tajik, and the plateau has an average altitude of 4000 meters to 7700 meters, boasting many high peaks, with the main peaks all above 6000 meters. There are mountain passes such as the Khunjerab and Mintaka, which were important passages of the ancient Silk Road heading south to India, west to Afghanistan, and Iran. The moment you set foot on the Pamir Plateau, tears involuntarily fill your eyes. It's not out of sadness, but a tearful appreciation for nature's grandeur—beauty beyond imagination.DIANA FOSTER1

The Pamir Plateau, the only plateau in XinjiangThe Pamir Plateau, in Persian, means 'the roof of the world'. In ancient China, it was known as the Congling, and the ancient Silk Road passed through it. It is located in the southeastern part of Central Asia, at the westernmost point of China, spanning Tajikistan, China, and Afghanistan. The Pamir Plateau stretches across the southwestern part of Xinjiang in China, the southeastern part of Tajikistan, and the northeastern part of Afghanistan, and is a massive mountain junction where the Kunlun Mountains, the Karakoram Mountains, the Hindu Kush, and the Tianshan Mountains meet. It covers an area of about 100,000 square kilometers. The Pamir Plateau has towering mountains with an average altitude of over 4,500 meters, and its main peaks are all above 6,000 meters. The highest peak in the western part within Tajikistan is the Communism Peak at 7,495 meters, followed by Lenin Peak at 7,134 meters. There is a significant difference between the eastern and western parts. The western Pamir has both high absolute and relative heights; the latitudinal and longitudinal mountain ranges crisscross each other, creating a complex terrain with the characteristics of a high mountain plateau; the river network is dense, with deep cuts, and the planation surfaces are severely damaged. The eastern Pamir Plateau has a lower absolute height and relative height, with significant plateau features and broad valleys. The plateau is widely covered with glaciers, totaling 1,085, covering an area of 8,041 square kilometers. The longest Fedchenko Glacier is 77 kilometers long. There are numerous glacial lakes, with the largest being Lake Karakul, covering an area of 383 square kilometers and reaching a depth of 236 meters.JOHANNA JOSEPH

The scenery of the Pamir Plateau is infinitely worth a visit! This road is snowy mountains, glaciers, grasslands, cattle and sheep, camels, deserts, and lakes under the blue sky and white clouds! And Xinjiang specialties are so fragrant! Great beauty Xinjiang! ! !
The ticket office can ask a tour guide. First, the sand plate in the ticket office will explain the entire terrain and surrounding attractions to you. After entering the stone city, you will be explained to you. However, I feel that the content of the explanation is not too much. If you join a group, you can also. If three or two, it doesn't feel necessary.
There are oxygen cylinders sold at the ticket office of the scenic spot, and there is no need to buy them at all. Most people have no reaction at this height, and the oxygen cylinders they sell are so expensive. There is yak beef hot pot opposite the price is very high.
Also, it feels that the tickets are still a bit expensive, the scenic spot is particularly small in the off-season, and it is still very good to walk around. The core area of Taxian County is not very big, and there are one-stop places to eat, drink and live nearby.
The Pamir Plateau has always felt like a place that is out of reach, but I didn't expect it to come. The average altitude is more than 4,500, and the hotel sleeping in the county at night is more than 3,000 meters away, but I am very happy that there is no altitude sickness this time. When I first entered the plateau, I was really excited. The scenery along the way was exactly the same as I imagined. Most of the mountains above 6,000 meters in the world are here, and the deepest lake is 286 meters. It can be imagined how clear it is.
On the 94th day of the poor tour of China, the Pamir Plateau Pamir Plateau is Persian, meaning flat roof. The Han Dynasty of China was proportionate to the green onion, and the ancient Silk Road passed here. The Pamir Plateau spans southwest China's Xinjiang, southeast Tajikistan, and northeast Afghanistan. It is a huge mountain knot at the intersection of Kunlun, Karakoram, Hindu Kush and Tianshan Mountains. Most of the people who went to Pamirgao's original tours went to Tashkurgan Tajik Autonomous County (referred to as Ta County) in the northeast. There are Baisha Mountain Baisha Lake Scenic Area, Stone City Site, Mustag Peak (father of icebergs), Hongqilafu Port (China's only land port to Pakistan), there are also China-Pakistan border pillars 7 and spectacular national gates. Of course, there is also a very important place to check in. First sell a Guanzi ～ after entering the mountain, the first attraction is Baisha Mountain Baisha Lake. White sand mountain is also called "Xiangsha Mountain", the mountain is Brunkule Lake in front of the mountain, the mountain is ChaClark Lake, the water and grass are fat, the blue mountain is covered by white sand, half covered, and the snowy mountains on the top of the mountain and the lake under the mountain together, forming a group of beautiful pictures! Tashkurgan Stone City is one of the three most famous stone cities in the history of China. More than a thousand years ago, the people of the country of Selekur built it in 120 days. There has been prosperity and war. It stands on a large rock, at the foot of the Aral grassy beach, where the Tashkurgan River runs by. More than a thousand years ago, the Tajiks had no advanced tools, but they completed the grand and magnificent project of the Stone City in a very short time. Yesterday I had gone to the port of Ilktan, and this time I did not go to the port of Hongqila. 1. The beautiful snowy mountains on the Pamir Plateau 2. Entered the mountain 3.

When I first entered the Pamir Plateau, I felt the yellow sand, all over the Gobi, desert and desert beaches, desert and desolate. But after slowly entering, it was found that the ecological environment on the Pamir Plateau was extremely rich, and various plants and animals were also rich in variety, and even videos of eagles flying soaring.
