Tashkurgan County is located on the eastern slope of the Pamir Plateau at an average elevation exceeding 3,000 meters, and is a border county where China meets three countries. Within the county seat are the Stone City ruins (remains of the capital of the Tang Dynasty’s Qiepantuo Kingdom) and the Golden Grassland wetland; at sunrise, light and shadow interweave with striking visual impact.

According to public information for 2027, the above scenic areas are all operating normally. White Sand Lake and Karakul Lake are open viewing spots with no admission fee; the combined ticket for Stone City and Golden Grassland is approximately 50 yuan per person based on 2026 standards, subject to the prices posted on the day of entry.
