Navigate to 'Toghran Summer Village' for directions 💰Admission: Free ⏰Opening Hours: All day ⏳Suggested Duration: About 2 hours 【Highlights】 🌲Tree Tunnel Road Trees on both sides of the road stretch their branches toward the center, forming a natural tunnel. As you pass through the 'tree tunnel', the sunlight pours down in flashes, as if blinking, warm and adorable. 🐑Shepherds and Flocks Under the guidance of shepherds, flocks of sheep move from the village to the wetlands. They need to cross streams along the way, and the sheep line up one by one, jumping over the streams in an orderly fashion, as if trained. Occasionally, a lamb strays from the group but quickly returns when the shepherd calls. ⛰️Alar National Wetland Park Observation Deck There is an observation deck here for viewing the Alar National Wetland. Parking is available, but the toilets are currently not in use. In the distance are the continuous towering snow-capped mountains, with Taxkorgan town at their base. Nearby, streams and grasslands intertwine, with various shrubs and trees scattered about, and cattle and sheep grazing among them. The leisurely pastoral scenery is irresistible for a little laziness. 【Tips】 🌟The roads within the village are narrow, and it's difficult to park on both sides. Be careful when passing other vehicles. 🌟The time I saw the shepherding was around ten in the morning, for reference only. 🌟Outdoor UV rays are strong, remember to take sun protection measures. 🌟Travel groups usually don't come here; it is recommended to drive yourself.
