My favorite off-the-beaten-path destination in Xinjiang, I hope you can go and see it too. Today, I recommend a Xinjiang off-the-beaten-path travel destination - Kashi County (a brilliant pearl on the Pamir Plateau). About Taxian County The full name ID of Taxian is Tashikuergan Tajik Autonomous County, which belongs to Kashgar Prefecture in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Tashkurgan, meaning "stone city" in the Uyghur language, is named after the ancient stone castle located to the north of the city. Transportation options Self-driving: Starting from Kashgar, follow the 318 National Highway (China-Pakistan Friendship Road), and the scenery along the way is breathtaking. Public bus: About 6 hours from Kashgar, with some scenic spots to get off and play and take photos along the way. Carpooling: flexible itinerary, generally low cost. Main attractions recommendation Baisha Lake: Here the scenery is beautiful, with the water and sky blending into one, the lake surface shining like a mirror, and the white sand resembling snowflakes. Due to being blown by the wind all year round, the white sand accumulates in the lake, so the locals named it "Baisha Lake". Panlong Ancient Road: Believe that most people know this place, divided into Big and Small Panlong, with many bends on the road! There are sea buckthorn trees and continuous snow-capped mountains along the way. The scenery is good. Karakul Lake: Located at the foot of the "Father of Glaciers" Mustagh Ata, named for its deep and dark waters, Karakul Lake means "Black Lake" in Kyrgyz. Muztagh Ata Peak: After passing Bai Sha Lake, you can see them almost all the way. They are not very high, but it's still nice to see round-headed snow mountains that look like steamed buns all the way. Xintaheman Township: On Main Road 314, in a small village below the plateau, the golden tree at the entrance will be beautiful in autumn~ Attention!!! To go to Taxian County, you need a border pass! Don't run, otherwise you may get altitude sickness. You can bring altitude sickness medicine and oxygen cylinder. Some roads are difficult to navigate, it is recommended to either carpool or hire a local driver who is familiar with the road conditions.
