With distinct colors, it is a natural appearance endowed by hundreds of millions of years of geological evolution, and is a rare mountainous landscape in the country; Warm reminder: Traffic control will be implemented after entering Wuqia, with a full-course speed limit of 40-60 km/h [Attraction/experience] The intersection point of the Tianshan and Kunlun mountains, 12:00-12:30 Visit the confluence of the Tianshan and Kunlun Mountains. Here, the Tianshan Mountains appear camel-colored and run east-west; the Kunlun Mountains appear dark cyan, originating in the west from the Pamir Plateau. Here, you can gaze at both mountain ranges and stand with one foot in each, admiring the unique scenery of world-class mountain systems and experiencing the "Museum of Ten Thousand Mountains." [Attraction/experience] Sumuhana Village, Northern Mohe and West Wuqia, the westernmost point of China, Simuhana Village, the westernmost village in China bordering Kyrgyzstan, is also the village with the latest sunset in the west, known as the home of the sun; colorful fences plus Gesang flowers. In summer, the sun sets as late as 10 PM. In all of China, only here is it still bright. [Attraction/experience] Stele of the Western Pole, It not only represents a geographical boundary, but also a convergence of cultures and a witness to history; the Last Ray of Sunshine Viewing Platform is right by the road. Following the sign and continuing forward leads to the Western Frontier Gate. Walking up the mountain along the wooden boardwalk, you will see the monument marking the latitude, and you can ascend to the Last Ray of Sunshine Viewing Platform. [Attraction/experience] Irkeshtam Port, The Irkeshtam Port is an important passage and post station on the Silk Road and also China's westernmost port. It has a quite long history; the further west you go, the more trucks there are waiting in line, so be sure to pay attention to safety when overtaking. Following the last ray of sunshine to the Western Pole, you might as well drive to the very end and come see this port that has weathered 139 years of vicissitudes. [Attraction/experience] China's westernmost post office, Visit China's westernmost post office, experience the westernmost post office culture. This is the westernmost post office of the motherland; it is not only a symbol of remote areas, but also a living fossil of postal culture inheritance. Send a postcard to friends here, and get a stamp as a souvenir.

[Attraction/experience] "Hot Naan" culture, Along the China-Pakistan Friendship Highway, our very first stop is to take you to experience the "hot nan" (flatbread) culture. We will buy freshly baked hot nan on the spot for you, letting you feel that no hot nan can make it home whole, and it will become your best energy supplement for crossing the Pamir Plateau [Attraction/experience] Muji Crater, Note: There is no professional horse team at the Muji Crater. The self-funded horseback riding experience service is spontaneously organized by local herdsmen. In the event of any accident, neither our agency nor the herdsmen will assume any responsibility. Please choose carefully., Nowadays, the most popular spots are two volcanoes; the taller one with water has the most visitors checking in, while the other offers views of the snow-capped mountains and the reflection of the Eighteen Arhats snow mountains, with the Eighteen Arhat Peaks of the Kunlun Mountains standing firm like eighteen warriors. Put on a Populus euphratica-colored windbreaker, pair it with a pair of western cowboy boots, and you can take a set of stunning Maillard-style blockbuster photos! [Attraction/experience] Baisha Lake, Visit the south shore of Baisha Lake, where the lake water is azure and the white sand is pristine, and the lakeside meadows are lush. You can walk down the wooden boardwalk to get close to Baisha Mountain, or optionally take photos with the yaks by the snow-capped mountain and lake to capture the plateau scenery. Note: As strong winds typically pick up around noon at Baisha Lake, drones cannot take off. The activity will be canceled in the event of strong winds. [Attraction/experience] Karakul Lake, A plateau pearl at the foot of the snow-capped Mount Muztagh Ata and Mount Kongur Jiubie, the lake water changes into different colors with the light. Snow-capped mountains stand around the lake, and the shimmering lake and mountain views complement each other, making it an iconic scenery of the Pamir Plateau. Here, you can also take photos in the center-stage spot of the Three Heroes of Kunlun (Mount Muztagh Ata, Mount Kongur, and Mount Kongur Jiubie).

[Attraction/experience] Khunjerab National Gate, At an altitude of 4,733 meters, the highest national gate borders Pakistan and is a port of entry approved by the state for opening to the outside world. "Ten thousand mountains piled with snow, and the snow presses down on ten thousand mountains" is the best description of the national gate; Note: Foreign nationals cannot reach the Khunjerab National Gate, please be aware. The refund for this point totals 39.5 RMB for tickets + shuttle bus [Attraction/experience] Wakhan Corridor, Walking a bit further brings you to the Wakhan Corridor, the tri-border intersection of three countries. This is also the route where other ancient Chinese monks traveled west. Only a section of the Wakhan Corridor is within Chinese territory, where you can only drive for a few dozen kilometers. It takes about 10 minutes to reach the check-in sign. Standing before the landmark, my heart was filled with reverence [Attraction/experience] Panlong Ancient Road, After checking in, we officially drove onto the Panlong Ancient Road. Today, it is an internet-famous highway, but in reality, this is a road to lift people out of poverty and bring them prosperity. Built specifically to help Waqia Township and the villages along the way emerge from the mountains, the journey along this road brings you a different kind of experience—thrilling, challenging, exciting, and healing. You can also view the magnificent scenery here from the viewing platform. [Attraction/experience] Bandier Blue Lake, This is a reservoir. Whether in the morning or at dusk, on sunny or cloudy days, it resembles a flawless piece of jade. Taking photos here requires no fill light, because it is a natural reflector. Note: Due to government construction, the water level of the Bandir Blue Lake has dropped, which somewhat diminishes the viewing experience. The entire group can discuss and decide whether to visit. [Attraction/experience] Eye of the Pamirs, Enjoying the view of the Eye of the Pamirs along the way, this place interprets the oppressive feel of the Pamir Plateau, making one marvel at the insignificance of humanity and let everything drift away [Attraction/experience] Tajik family, At a local Tajik family's home (listen to Tajik folklore | change into traditional attire and learn the Tajik eagle dance | taste yak yogurt and Tajik pastries), the tables are laden with characteristic Tajik snacks. The hosts, dressed in local traditional clothing, men and women, young and old, sing and dance to recreate authentic plateau life. Don't be shy when invited to get up and dance [Attraction/experience] Togrenxia Village, Afterwards, head to Tuogelunxia Village to watch the sunset. The melted snow from the Pamir Plateau irrigates this land, creating the wetland and grassland scenery of southern Xinjiang. Here, the sunset spills over Tuogelunxia Village, as if one of Van Gogh's oil paintings is reflected upon it [Accommodation] Taxkorgan Crown on Snow Hotel (Taxkorgan Golden Grass Beach branch), Taxkorgan Blue Hotel, or equivalent 5-diamond hotel Day 5 [Dining] Breakfast, Breakfast is included at the hotel; other lunches and dinners are at your own expense. [Attraction/experience] Tree Hole Highway, Spanning a kilometer, the branches of the snow willows interlace, arching into a natural shaded tunnel alongside the national highway. Sunlight filters through the leaves, weaving flowing spots of broken gold onto the road. Driving through it feels like stumbling into a gentle barrier hidden away in the Pamirs. The breeze sweeps through, laden with the fragrance of wetland grasses, while herds occasionally walk leisurely past, treading on the fragmented shadows. [Attraction/experience] Muztaga Glacier Park, Mount Muztagh Ata and its majestic, towering body stand proudly on the Pamir Plateau. You can hike or ride a horse up and down the mountain (one-way 100 RMB/horse, expenses at your own expense), and finally reach the 4,600m glacier. Note: Glacier Park (No. 4 Glacier) explicitly stipulates that visitors aged 70 and above are strictly prohibited from entering the park, and the price difference will be refunded. [Attraction/experience] Oytag Red Valley, Oytag Red Mountain Valley, where flowing reddish-brown textures resemble the blood of the Pamir Plateau. A wild secret spot for traveling in southern Xinjiang, this is a red canyon hidden deep within the mountains. On the day of your visit, you can wear solid-colored clothing for photos, darken the tones, and let minimalism create a high-end look. [Attraction/experience] Kashgar Old Town Twilight Travel Photography, Have a travel photoshoot in the ancient city at dusk, using ancient architecture and traditional handicrafts as the ultimate backdrop. Put on traditional clothing or choose some fashionable elements to complement the atmosphere of the ancient city. Photographers will use their lenses to capture your every moment. They will use professional skills and unique perspectives [Accommodation] Kashgar Jinmeilun Hotel (Kashgar Old Town Scenic Area Kunlun Tower Branch); Jinmeilun Hotel, Manxin Hotel, Kashgar Old Town East Gate Atour Light Hotel, Wanjia Xiyue Hotel - Kashgar Old Town Donghu Branch, Borman International Hotel, GreenTree Eastern Hotel (Id Kah Mosque Branch, Kashgar), Kashgar Serman Legend Courtyard, Laining Hotel, and other equivalent four-diamond hotels
