Above the Pamir Plateau, life is hard to describe

🤓 Friends, we have planned a perfect route for the Pamir Plateau. Avoid the crowds, so you can slowly enjoy the scenery and take photos. Sharing it with everyone. DAY 1️⃣✈️ Kashgar You can stroll around the ancient city, stay near the old town, have dinner, buy some supplies, and get a good rest. DAY 2️⃣ Kashgar Ancient City - North Shore of Basha Lake - Muji Volcano - Basha Lake - Karakul Lake 🏔️ North Shore of Basha Lake (The north shore has fewer people than the south shore and is better for photography. Highly recommended.) 🌋 Muji Volcano (Honestly, no need to go inside deliberately. When you get close, just take a look at the Eighteen Arhats Peak and then return to Basha Lake.) 🏖️ Karakul Lake (You can watch the sunset here. The golden sunlight on Muztagh Ata Peak is especially beautiful!) DAY 3️⃣ Muztagh Ata No. 2 Glacier No. 4 Glacier is the already developed Muztagh Ata Glacier Park, but I recommend No. 2 Glacier more (: However, No. 2 Glacier requires a guide to take you there. 🧊 No. 2 Glacier has fewer people and beautiful scenery! DAY 4️⃣ Taxkorgan Town - Wakhan Corridor - Hongqilafu Port National Gate - Panlong Ancient Trail - Bandier Blue Lake Special note (Bandier Blue Lake: Do not park at Bandier Blue Lake. First, drive past the popular bridge, then drive a bit towards Shache before getting off to take photos. Fewer people and beautiful scenery!) DAY 5️⃣ Taxkorgan Town - Shache If you have time, you can visit these two places. 🏛️ Shache Ancient City (: In Shache, you must try the Alcha Hand-Pulled Rice (main store). The hand-pulled rice and pigeon soup are incredibly fragrant. After visiting Shache, you can return to Kashgar. DAY 6️⃣ Kashgar Ancient City The ancient city is large, divided into east and west areas. The east city is good for eating and shopping, the west city is good for photography 📷 You can spend a whole day leisurely exploring 🚶 DAY 7️⃣ Time to go home~ 🛫
