Over 1000 years ago, it was an important pass on the famous 'Silk Road,' a crucial route to India, Central Asia, West Asia, and even Europe. In 119 BC, Zhang Qian passed through here on his mission to the Western Regions, and Tang Xuanzang also returned to China via this route after his pilgrimage to the West. The Tashkurgan River flows through the grassland, forming a wetland that looks like a green velvet carpet. Walking deeper, you can see villages at the foot of the snow-capped mountains.
