Day 7
Kashgar - Taxkorgan
Today’s theme: Journey to the sacred lake of the plateau
Arrive in Kashgar in the morning and travel along the China-Pakistan Friendship Highway to the Roof of the World – Pamir Plateau (approximately 3 hours by car). Arrive at White Sand Lake (approximately 40 minutes of sightseeing). The undulating silver-white sand mountains and the clear blue lake have coexisted for thousands of years, forming a clear and fantastical boundary, making it a must-see place when visiting Kashgar. Next, head to the legendary border town – Taxkorgan, which stands proudly on the Pamir Plateau with its unique position of “one county bordering three countries,” located at the western edge of our motherland. This place is not only the filming location of the classic film “The Guests on the Iceberg,” but also the hometown of the 2021 “Touching China” Person of the Year- Razini Baika, whose life’ s song spread throughout China from here, allowing the spirit of the “Pamir Eagle” to soar forever. Later, participate in a Tajik Home Visit, taste snacks prepared by the Tajik people, sing and dance with them, and learn about Tajik culture. For dinner, enjoy authentic Taxkorgan yak meat hot pot, and rest at a hotel in Taxkorgan.
