Discover 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, 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 impressive county town. It is like a dazzling pearl inlaid on the Pamir Plateau. Here, you can find snow-capped mountains that greet the wind, the pastoral fields of Tyan Song where herds of cattle and sheep roam, the mysterious and majestic Kunlun Mountain area, and the roof of the world, the Pamir Plateau, which is the ancestor of all mountains and the source of all waters. Within the territory of Taxkorgan County, 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 exceed 7000 meters in altitude. Glacial meltwater nourishes the lush grasslands, creating 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 attract 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 County, to experience the Tajik people's love and commitment to this land.
