Detailed introduction to routes or destinations
【Core Area of the Pamir Plateau】
The Pamir Plateau is the soul of Southern Xinjiang, gathering iconic landscapes such as Muztagh Ata, Karakul Lake, and Baisha Lake. Muztagh Ata is known as the “Father of Ice Mountains,” with an altitude of 7,546 meters and perennial snow cover. Along the way, you can check in at the Panlong Ancient Road; the sign reading “Today you have traveled all the winding roads, from now on life is a smooth path” has become a popular check-in spot. The water of Karakul Lake is clear, reflecting the magnificent figure of Muztagh Ata, making it an excellent place to photograph snow mountain reflections. At Baisha Lake, the lake water and white sand set each other off beautifully; no admission ticket is required, and the parking fee is approximately 10 yuan per vehicle. It is a pearl on the Pamir Plateau.
【Heart of the Taklamakan Desert】
Crossing the Taklamakan Desert Highway, there are 4 viewing platforms along the way where you can photograph the magnificent scene of the desert and populus euphratica forests together. September is an excellent season to view populus euphratica forests, when the golden populus euphratica and the desert form a striking contrast, creating a breathtaking picture. Stop at Tazhong Town along the way to experience the landscape in the heart of the desert and feel the shock of the “Sea of Death.”
