A Place Worth Visiting Once in a Lifetime—Baisha Lake and Panlong Ancient Road*.

【Introduction】: The wind from Jiangnan cannot reach Xinjiang, but the border town of Tashkurgan County in Xinjiang carries a gentle touch. The sky seems bluer, the clouds seem whiter, and even the scenery along the way seems different from elsewhere. Muztagh Ata stands tall and majestic, Baisha Lake is clear and blue, Karakul Lake is dark and deep, and the Jin Caotan Wetland is backed by mountains. It has the softness of Jiangnan and the ruggedness of the Northwest. The road to the Panlong Ancient Road is exciting and thrilling, with every turn making your heart skip a beat~ And my favorite saying is: 'Having walked all the winding roads today, from now on, life will be a smooth journey.' 🕘【Opening Hours】: Open all year round. Roads may be closed during heavy snow, so check with local authorities. Different months offer different scenic experiences. From May to August, the high altitude means strong UV rays, so be sure to use sunscreen. From January to April and September to December, bring warm clothes to avoid large temperature differences. ⛺【Activities】: Drive along the Karakoram Highway to view Muztagh Ata and Kongur Tagh; get off to visit Baisha Lake, Karakul Lake, Jin Caotan, Stone City, Tajik Eagle Dance performance, and bonfire party. Enjoy Tashkurgan's special yak hot pot. After descending Panlong Ancient Road, visit Bandier Blue Lake, which is great for photos. 🚌【Transportation Tips】: Panlong Ancient Road is limited to 5-7 seat vehicles. You can drive yourself or join a local travel agency group. 👉【Itinerary】: In Kashgar, you can stay in characteristic homestays around the ancient city to experience local customs. In Tashkurgan, you can stay in budget hotels. 🧡【Preparation】: Sunglasses, sunscreen, light and thick jackets. The journey is long, so bring some snacks or local naan.
