This place borders Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Tajikistan, and has been rated by National Geographic as the most extraordinary county town. It is like a dazzling pearl inlaid on the Pamir Plateau. Here you can find snow-capped mountains welcoming the wind, the Tian Ge pasture with herds of cattle and sheep, the mysterious and majestic Kunlun Mountains, and the Pamir Plateau, known as the 'Roof of the World', the ancestor of all mountains and the source of many rivers. Within the territory of Taxkorgan, there are 4 peaks over 8000 meters high, accounting for one-third of the world's total, and their majestic and spectacular scenery is breathtaking. The Karakoram Highway is like a giant dragon winding through this magical land, with over 100 peaks along the way that are more than 7000 meters high. The glacial meltwater nourishes the lush grasslands, creating a paradise for wildlife and providing pastures essential for the survival of nomadic peoples. The Tajik people, known as the 'People above the Clouds', not only attract attention with their unique culture and traditions but also carry the important mission of guarding the frontier, closely connected to this land. Let us walk into the snow mountains together, feel their majesty and tranquility, follow the Karakoram Highway into Taxkorgan, and experience the Tajik people's love and commitment to this land.
