A glimpse of eternity! In March, in southern Xinjiang, I encountered a shower of apricot blossoms on the plateau

Every year from mid-March to early April is the season when apricot blossoms bloom on the Pamir Plateau in southern Xinjiang. 👉Unlike the apricot blossoms in northern Xinjiang, those in southern Xinjiang bloom earlier.㊙️ Southern Xinjiang features ancient wild apricot blossoms intertwined with villages, offering a richer cultural atmosphere. 【Best Time to View Apricot Blossoms】 Mid-March to early April, with different blooming times due to varying altitudes. 【Attraction Introduction】 Pamir Plateau: Uncover the ethnic groups on the Pamir Plateau, step into the sea of flowers, stroll through the apricot forests, wander around homestays, and capture the beautiful scenery. Kashgar Old Town: With a long history, diverse culture, and strong ethnic characteristics, it is also the sub-venue for this year's Spring Festival. Tashkurgan Ancient Path: Hidden within the ancient path are not only apricot blossom villages but also bizarre rocks and magical landscapes. White Sand Lake: A sand mountain wrapped in silver sand naturally formed on the Pamir Plateau, where you can take breathtakingly beautiful pictures without any filters.

There are many old apricot trees in Tashkurgan, and the shapes of the trees are very beautiful. 2. It's not easy to dispose of garbage in the apricot blossom villages, so please try to take the trash back to the county for disposal. Most of the older generation in the apricot blossom villages do not speak Mandarin. If you want to take their pictures, please gesture to ask first, and after taking the photos, you can show them. They are usually very willing. 3. Inside Happiness No. 5 Bridge, there is a grove of century-old apricot trees. The light is very good and beautiful in the morning, and when the wind blows, you can see a spectacular shower of blossoms. 4. If you don't plan to take the Shache Ancient Path, then there's no need to go to Datong Township; Kuzhu is enough.
