Check in at the best viewpoint of the Pamirs

Dreams finally come true! I visited the long-awaited Pamir Plateau, and Tashkurgan is absolutely breathtaking! Sharing my itinerary and practical tips—save this to avoid getting lost~ 🔹Day 1: Leisure tour around Tashkurgan County Morning: Arrive in Tashkurgan town to rest and adjust Afternoon: Visit the [Stone City Ruins] (free attraction), a relic from the Tang Dynasty, with distant views of Muztagh Ata (remember to wear a windproof jacket) Evening: Stay at a hotel in Tashkurgan (recommend Traffic Hotel for its affordable price and great location) Tip: Don’t rush to see attractions on the first day—acclimating to the high altitude is important! 🔹Day 2: Pamir Plateau scenery tour Charter a car to the [Khunjerab Pass] border (requires a border permit in advance) Scenic spots along the way: 1⃣️ Karakul Lake (stunning mountain-lake views) 2⃣️ Baisha Lake (magical scenery where water meets sky) 3⃣️ Karakoram Highway (one of the world’s most beautiful roads) 🔹Day 3: Deep dive into Tajik culture Morning: Visit a Tajik village (remember to bring snacks for the kids) Afternoon: Horseback riding (¥50/hour, great value) Evening: Stargazing on the plateau (Tashkurgan has little light pollution, perfect for astrophotography) ⚠️ Practical tips: 1⃣ Transportation: Buses from Kashgar to Tashkurgan run 3 times daily (recommend chartering a car for more flexibility) 2⃣ Food: Must-try yak meat hotpot (recommend "Pamir Restaurant") and tandoori meat 3⃣ Clothing: Large temperature differences between day and night—bring a thick jacket + sun protection 4⃣ Border permit: Can be obtained in Kashgar or your hometown
