Driving along G314 toward Tashkurgan County, you’ll pass several key scenic spots along the way: Baisha Lake, Karakul Lake, Muztagh Ata Peak, and Tahman Wetland:Baisha Lake is located beside the national highway, with water colors shifting through different shades of blue depending on the light, backed by expansive snow mountain views. There is currently no entrance fee, though some viewing platforms charge 10 to 20 yuan for cleaning and maintenance. At Karakul Lake, you can view Muztagh Ata Peak in the distance, and when the lake surface is calm, you can capture complete snow mountain reflections.

The core winding section is 36 kilometers long with hundreds of consecutive S-curves, climbing from 3,000 meters to 4,216 meters in elevation. It currently operates as a one-way road — vehicles must enter from the west entrance at Bandier Township and exit from the east exit at Waqia Township. Overtaking and U-turns are prohibited throughout. Daily opening hours are 10:00 to 19:00, with vehicle entry stopping at 18:30 and full closure and clearing after 19:00. Regarding vehicle restrictions, small passenger vehicles with 7 seats or fewer are permitted. A 7-seat business van just meets the access requirements, so no mid-route transfer is needed — you can drive the entire route directly, saving a lot of hassle.
Additionally, please note that entering the entire Tashkurgan County area requires obtaining a travel permit in advance.

When filling in the destination, select “Tashkurgan Tajik Autonomous County.” The electronic permit must be presented together with a valid ID.
