Explore the Pamir Plateau The only county in China with a Caucasian population On the Pamir Plateau, there is a county town with an average altitude of over 4000 meters, which is home to China's only Caucasian population. It is called Tashkurgan, also known as Taxkorgan County. This place borders Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Tajikistan, and has been rated by National Geographic as the most impressive county town. It is like a dazzling pearl set on the Pamir Plateau. Here, you can find snow-capped mountains welcoming the wind, herds of cattle and sheep on the Tian Ge pasture, the mysterious and lofty Kunlun mountain area, and the roof of the world, the Pamir Plateau, which is the ancestor of all mountains and the source of all rivers. Within the territory of Taxkorgan, there are 4 peaks over 8000 meters high, accounting for one-third of such peaks worldwide, and their majestic and spectacular scenery is breathtaking. The Karakoram Highway, like a giant dragon, winds through this magical land, with over 100 peaks exceeding 7000 meters in altitude along the way. Glacial meltwater nourishes the lush grasslands, becoming a paradise for wild animals and providing pastures essential for the survival of nomadic peoples. The Tajik people, known as the 'People above the clouds', not only draw attention with their unique culture and traditions but also shoulder the important mission of guarding the frontier, closely connected to this land. Let us walk into the snow mountains together, feel their majesty and tranquility, and follow the Karakoram Highway into Taxkorgan, to experience the Tajik people's love and commitment to this land.
