I prefer this secluded town deep in the snow-capped mountains of Kashgar to Altay.

Especially in autumn and winter, every frame here is like an oil painting, romantic and healing, attracting many tourists to visit. 📝|Just returned from a trip to Tashkurgan, I suggest you save this post Tag your friends and sisters, and check out this 4-day guide before you go👇 Day ①: Kashgar ➠ (South Bank of White Sand Lake ➠ Karakul Lake) in Akto County, Kizilsu ➠ Tashkurgan Day ②: Muztagh Glacier Park ➠ Taheman Wetland Day ③: Panlong Ancient Road ➠ Sharafdi Village ➠ Bandier Blue Lake Day ④: North Bank of White Sand Lake ➠ Muji Volcano ➠ Kashgar 📷|Some attractions for sightseeing and photography: 📍White Sand Lake The soft white sand mountains in the foreground and the snow-capped mountains in the distance are reflected in the lake with a sense of layering. The wetlands on the north bank have a unique beauty. 📍Panlong Ancient Road With more than 600 bends, as the saying goes, "After this road, the road is smooth." The photo spots are at the Longhuitou and Longjibei viewing platforms. · 📍Muztagh Glacier Park Take the shuttle bus to the mountainside, and you can walk or ride a horse to the "Heart-shaped Ice Lake" to experience the magnificence of the glacier up close. · 📍Taheman Wetland and Tree Hole There is a viewing platform for panoramic views. The winding rivers and herds of cattle and sheep at the foot of the snow-capped mountains make for a very pleasant picture.😌 · 📍Karakul Lake The lake is half blue and half green, and you can see Muztagh Peak from a distance. · 📍Bandier Blue Lake The tranquil blue lake is as deep as a gem, and you can watch the golden mountains at sunset. · 📍Sharafdi Village Wetland The village after descending from the Panlong Ancient Road, with crisscrossing wetlands stretching between two snow-capped mountains. 🏨|Where to stay: You can stay in the county town of Tashkurgan, where there are more options and complete facilities. White Sand, Karakul, Muztagh, and Taheman are on the way to Tashkurgan, so you can visit two of them on the way and return to visit the others the next day. I stayed at Wanda Meihua, which is backed by snow-capped mountains and is nice, and the room provides oxygen. ‼️|Some travel tips: ▫️When traveling in high-altitude areas, you should reasonably assess your physical condition, prepare oxygen, and prioritize travel safety. ▫️The temperature difference between morning and evening is large, and the ultraviolet rays are strong, so pay attention to sun protection and cold protection. ▫️Panlong Ancient Road is one-way, with many bends. The beautiful spots are all equipped with viewing platforms and parking areas, so don't stop in the middle of the road! ▫️The road conditions are good for SUVs, and remember to apply for a border pass.😂
