Mustagh Ata Glacier Tour: A rendezvous with ice and snow!

🧊Mustagh Ata, the majestic "Father of Icebergs", has always been a sacred place in my heart. With my longing for it, I embarked on this Mustagh Ata Glacier Tour with Trip.com. ⛰️Departing from Kashgar, along the winding road, the scenery outside the window gradually changed from oasis to desolate Gobi, and then to snowy mountains. Mustagh Ata stood quietly in the distance, getting closer and closer, the huge mountain body was covered with white snow, like a sleeping giant. 🛣️Arriving at the foot of the mountain, I walked towards the glacier. The gravel road under my feet was not flat, but every step was full of expectations. Finally, the glacier came into view. It was an ice-blue world, with a huge ice tongue extending down, and the ice cracks were like wounds on the earth, but they had a different kind of beauty. ☀️The sun shone on the glacier, reflecting the brilliant light. Standing on the glacier, I felt the majestic power of nature. The air here is cold and pure, and every breath is like a conversation with ancient ice and snow. The Mustagh Ata Glacier Tour is not only a visual feast, but also a spiritual baptism, and Trip.com makes all this more convenient and reassuring.
