    "One of the highlights in our South Xinjiang trip. In order to come in, we need to process the border pass. During that time, the line was a bit long so we have to wait for around 40 minutes. The good thing about the border pass center is they have clean toilet and sell oxygen which is recommended to buy when visiting Pamirs Plateau.There are a lot of stops / viewing deck to see the Pamirs Plateau. We can also see it from our car ride.Unfortunately we only pass by this area and didn't really have enough time to go down and visit the viewing deck.During my time of visit, there was really a long time of cars going into the viewing deck. Prepare to wait during peak period.I would recommend stay at least 2 days if want to see the different views of Pamirs Plateau.#100daysofsummer #xinjiang #xinjiangtravels"

    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.

    "At altitude of more than 4,000, I have a problem with irregular heart rhythm, but as long as I don’t do large movements or speak loudly, there is no problem. If you don’t hurry up and slowly walk up, you can. We also have to catch the next attraction at that time, so we chose to ride up and down. Two people round trip 400, close glacier experience."
