Explore the Pamir Plateau → Like to give a thumbs up

Explore the Pamir Plateau The only county in China with a Caucasian population On the Pamir Plateau, there is a county with an average altitude of over 4000 meters, where the only Caucasians in China live. It is called Tashkurgan, also known as Taxkorgan County. This place borders Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Tajikistan, and has been rated by National Geographic as the most impressive county. It is like a dazzling pearl set upon the Pamir Plateau. Here, there are snow-capped mountains welcoming the wind, herds of cattle and sheep on the Tian Ge pasture, the mysterious and majestic Kunlun mountain range, and the roof of the world, the Pamir Plateau, which is the ancestor of all mountains and the source of all waters. Within the territory of Taxkorgan, there are 4 peaks over 8000 meters high, accounting for one-third of the world's total, and their majestic and spectacular sights are breathtaking. The Karakoram Highway is like a giant dragon winding through this magical land, with over 100 peaks along the way that exceed 7000 meters in altitude. The glacial meltwater nourishes the lush grasslands, becoming a paradise for wild animals and providing pastures for the nomadic people to rely on for survival. The Tajik people are known as the 'people above the clouds' and are not only notable for their unique culture and traditions but also bear the important mission of guarding the border, closely connected to this land. Let us walk into the snow mountains together, feel their majesty and tranquility, follow the Karakoram Highway into Taxkorgan, and experience the Tajik people's love and dedication to this land. Follow me to appreciate the different beauties of Xinjiang.
