Here, you can find snow-capped mountains welcoming the wind, the pastoral fields of Tyan Song with herds of cattle and sheep, 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 scenery is 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 wildlife and providing pastures essential for the survival of nomadic peoples.
