Pamir Plateau, Xinjiang | Beautiful Hypoxia

| Beautiful Hypoxia. You have to visit the Pamir Plateau in the geography textbook|||✨This is known as the pearl of the Pamir Plateau💧, a combination of snow-capped mountains🏔️, lakes🌊, and sand dunes. The wind blows up the white sand, sweeping over the blue lake to the distant snow-capped mountains, as if putting a veil on the Pamir Plateau. ✔️Must-visit attractions 🏞️White Sand Lake Half is white sand, half is pure sea. This is White Sand Lake🏞️, a dream island on the Pamir Plateau in southern Xinjiang. Usually, you can check in on the south bank along National Highway 314. If you want to be more niche, you can take the Mujie Border Road to the north bank, look at the lake from a high place, and the view is different. The upper limit of White Sand Lake is very high. When the weather is sunny🌞 and windless, it is like a blue mirror, which is very unreal. 🐉Panlong Ancient Road Must-visit! 30 kilometers, 639 bends. "Walk all the bends today, and life will be smooth from now on" comes from here. It is only allowed to drive from the west entrance next to National Highway 314 to the east to Vacha Township. 🖼️Jincaotan Jincaotan Scenic Spot, that is, Alar National Wetland Park🎡 on the Pamir Plateau in Xinjiang, is a marshy meadow with an altitude of 3100 meters. The Alar Wetland in summer is a green meadow; the vegetation turns yellow in autumn, and under the sun🌞, it seems to be covered with a golden light, hence the name "Jincaotan"; in the middle of the wetland, there is a winding river, which is the mother river of Tashkurgan Tajik Autonomous County—Tashkurgan River, originated at the junction of Xinjiang and Afghanistan, flows through Taxian and Aketao County, and merges into the Yarkant River at the mouth of the two rivers in Aketao County. It is 298 kilometers long and is the main tributary of the Yarkant River. 🏝️Taheman Wetland Taheman Wetland is located at the foot of the southern slope of Mustag Snow Peak🏔️, known as the "land of god flowers" by the locals. It is one of the rare grasslands on the Pamir Plateau, with an altitude of 3050 meters. Surrounded by mountains⛰️ on all sides, the terrain is relatively low, like a basin. In summer, countless mountain springs converge here; in autumn, the whole wetland looks like a golden fur blanket. ⛩️Khunjerab Pass Khunjerab Pass, known as the "forbidden zone of life", the lowest temperature is more than 40 degrees Celsius below zero, the oxygen content is less than half of the plain, located in Tashkurgan County on the Pamir Plateau, with an altitude of 5100 meters, surrounded by high mountains, perennial snow🌨️, it is the only land passage between China and Pakistan, and it is currently the highest pass in the world.
