Tashkurgan Red Qilafu Port: The westernmost gate of China, where you can overlook Pakistan and experience the border scenery and unique culture. Pamir Plateau: Known as the "Roof of the World", the magnificent mountains, lakes, and grasslands form a beautiful picture. Whether hiking or self-driving, you can deeply experience the greatness and tranquility of nature. Karakul Lake: Located at the foot of Muztagh Ata, the lake is as blue as a mirror, reflecting the snow-capped mountains and clouds, and is a paradise for photography enthusiasts. Luobu Village: Located in Yuli County, you can learn about the history, culture, and lifestyle of the Luobu people, and enjoy the oasis and Populus euphratica forest in the desert. 2.
