Explore the Pamir Plateau The only county in China with a Caucasian population On the Pamir Plateau, there is a county with an average altitude of over 4000 meters, where China's only Caucasian population resides. 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 extraordinary county. It is like a dazzling pearl inlaid on the Pamir Plateau. Here, there are snow-capped mountains welcoming the wind, the Tian Ge Pasture with herds of cattle and sheep, the mysterious and majestic Kunlun Mountain area, and the Pamir Plateau, known as the 'Roof of the World', which is the ancestor of all mountains and the source of all waters. Within the territory of Taxkorgan, there are 4 peaks over 8000 meters high, accounting for one-third of the world's total, and their majestic and spectacular sights are breathtaking. The Karakoram Highway, like a giant dragon, winds through this magical land, with over 100 peaks along the way that are more than 7000 meters high. The glacial meltwater nourishes the lush grasslands, becoming a paradise for wild animals and providing pastures for the nomadic people to survive on. The Tajik people are known as 'the people above the clouds' and are not only notable for their unique culture and traditions but also bear the important mission of guarding the border, closely connected to this land. Let us walk into the snow mountains together, feel their majesty and tranquility, follow the Karakoram Highway into Taxkorgan, and experience the Tajik people's love and commitment to this land. Follow me to discover the unique beauty of Xinjiang.
