    Highlights: Karakul Lake is located at the foot of the "Father of Glaciers" Muztagh Ata Peak. Because the lake water is deep and dark, it is named "Karakul", which means Black Lake in Kyrgyz language.There is a vast grassland in front of the lake. In spring and summer, there are herds of cattle and sheep on the grassland, water birds and wild ducks swimming on the lake, and occasionally swans foraging here. Under the sunshine, the lake is full of brilliance, reflecting the majestic Muztagh Ata Peak, which is extremely gorgeous. There is a legend that there is a water monster in this lake, but of course it is unknown whether it is true or not, because after all, no one has seen it.The lake water changes colors with the sunshine throughout the day. Usually, the lake water is clean and clear, like a mirror; when the sky is overcast, the lake water becomes black as if it were filled with ink, becoming a veritable "black lake". Every morning at sunrise, the shimmering lake water changes like the sky on the stage: sometimes azure blue, sometimes light yellow, sometimes orange, giving people the feeling of being in a fairyland.

    "After arriving at the parking lot, you can reach the Tianmen Observation Deck within an hour on foot. The scenery is good, the wind is very big, the road is not very good, and there are some ice and snow sections, suitable for time, while walking to see the scenery along the way."

    Highlights: Atushi Tianmen is an AA-level tourist Attraction, located in the southern range of the Western Tianshan Mountains, west of Shangatushi Town, Atushi City, 75 kilometers away from Atushi City. Tianmen was once in the shape of "Π", about 100 meters wide, more than 500 meters high, and its thickness cannot be measured. The scenic spot is majestic, steep, deep, quiet and mysterious. The surface of the stone wall looks like a thousand strange murals. As the leading Attraction in Atushi City, Tianmen was built in accordance with the principle of "plain face and return to nature". The construction of scenic facilities and the harmonious unity of nature and landscape are the primary considerations. The unique ecological environment and natural landscape make Tianmen a tourist destination that combines scientific research and exploration. The attraction was recommended by the American magazine "ADVENTURE" as one of the 25 new exploration routes in the world. According to historical records, in 1932, American journalist Xiahelaguo visited this place accompanied by the local Uyghur Guide Usman Ahong; in 1947, British explorer Shipton hunted here.

    "[View] It's really beautiful. I bought Huawei mate60pro white sand silver color scheme in September. The mobile phone is very beautiful. The photos taken are also very beautiful, but it is still recommended to come when the weather is good and it is easy to take good-looking photos."

    Highlights: Taxkorgan Baisha Lake, also known as Chakrak Lake and Pamir Plateau Baisha Lake, is the only place to go from Kashgar to Taxkorgan, located on the edge of the national road. The lake here is like a mirror, the white sand is like snow, and the scenery is shocking. Walking out of the Gaizi Gorge and entering the Pamir Plateau, you can see Baisha Lake. It is nestled next to the huge Baisha Mountain, where the water from the river gathers to form a lake, and the deposited white sand is exposed in the cold season when the water level drops, and is blown up the hillside by the strong winds day and night. The spectacle of gathering sand into mountains.

    "Most of the world's mountains above 7,000 meters above sea level are on the Pamir Plateau, where the Mustag peak known as the "father of icebergs" is not the highest, but is undoubtedly the most beautiful of them. When we left the Pamir Plateau, it was accompanied by us for a long time along the way, sometimes it even felt reasonable. Close to so close, drive up a little more, you can have close contact without distance. But it is actually far away, so the local Tajiks have an old saying called "watching the mountains run dead horses", which is what they say"

    Highlights: Muztagh Peak is located at the junction of Aktao County and Tashkurgan Tajik Autonomous County in Xinjiang, with an altitude of about 7,500 meters. Muztagh Peak, the top of which is covered with snow all year round and surrounded by clouds and mist, is very mysterious. Every year, it attracts countless mountaineering enthusiasts who want to conquer it. The top of Muztagh is covered with snow, like a head full of white hair. More than a dozen glaciers are embedded in the canyon under the peak, like silver whiskers fluttering on the chest, so it is known as the "Father of Icebergs". At an altitude of 4,500 meters, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of glaciers, such as ice tower forests, icicles, ice caves, etc., which can be called wonders. Alpine camping here is something every outdoor enthusiast wants to experience. Muztagh Peak is majestic, pure and elegant, and because of such a beautiful legend, it is regarded as a symbol of pure love by the Tajik people. According to legend, there lived an iceberg princess on the Muztagh Peak. She was in love with the Snow Mountain Prince who lived on the opposite 8611-meter Qiaogri Peak. The vicious queen was very unhappy when she heard about it, so she split it with a magic stick. The two connected mountain peaks were opened, and the sincere lovers of the Iceberg Princess and the Snow Mountain Prince were separated. Princess Bingshan misses the Prince of Snow Mountain all day long, and her tears kept pouring out, forming a series of glaciers. When the weather is clear, the snow-capped peaks carry the glaciers that stretch below the snow line, like the elegant white dress and long sleeves of the glacier princess. Muztagh Peak is majestic, pure and elegant, and because of such a beautiful legend, it is regarded as a symbol of pure love by the Tajik people.
