The Pamir Plateau is the center of Asia and Europe.
Geographically: Located in the southeast of Central Asia and the northwest of Xinjiang, China, it is a huge mountain knot where the Kunlun Mountains, Karakoram Mountains, Hindu Kush Mountains and Tianshan Mountains meet, spanning China, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Afghanistan, Pakistan and other countries.
&quot;Pamir&quot; means &quot;Roof of the World&quot; in Tajik. Isn&#39;t the roof of the world the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau? The average altitude here is about 4,000 meters, and the area is about 148,000 square kilometers.
Pamir has bred a large number of glaciers, snow-capped mountains and lakes. There are Muztagh Ata Snow Mountain, Kongur Snow Mountain, Kongur Jiubie Snow Mountain, Karakul Lake, Baisha Lake and other lakes in my country.
The Pamir Plateau is a must-pass route on the Silk Road. Historically, the Kushan Empire, the Arab Empire, Mongolia, Britain, Russia and other countries have successively controlled it.
The Pamir Plateau is mainly inhabited by nomadic peoples such as the Tajik and Kyrgyz and their branch tribes, and has intangible cultural heritage such as the Tajik funeral customs, the Tajik yak carrying sheep, and the Tajik eagle dance.

The natural landscapes of the Pamirs include the Muztagh Ata Glacier Park, the Karakul Lake Scenic Area, the Kezhou Glacier Park, the Golden Grassland, the Karakul Lake, and the Taheman Wetland. Among them, the Muztagh Ata Peak is known as the &quot;Father of Icebergs&quot;, and the Kongur Peak, Kongur Jiubie Peak, and the Muztagh Ata Peak are world-famous peaks and the highest peaks on the Pamir Plateau.
&bull; The cultural landscapes include the Stone City, the Khunjerab Pass, the Panlong Ancient Road, and the first stop for Tang Monk to return home, etc.

You must visit the Pamir Plateau once in your lifetime to experience its unique charm and endless style.
The magnificent snow-capped mountain Muztagh Ata: known as the &quot;Father of Glaciers&quot;, it is covered with snow all year round and is magnificent. It is the most beautiful scenery on the China-Pakistan Friendship Road and a place that mountaineering enthusiasts yearn for; Kongur Peak and Kongur Jiubie Peak: adjacent to Muztagh Ata, both are above 7,000 meters above sea level, with steep mountains and snow-covered peaks all year round, shining with charming silver light in the sun.
In addition, there are beautiful lakes such as Baisha Lake, Karakul Lake and Bandir Lake. The lake water is as clear as a mirror, with blue sky and white clouds reflected in it, and the scenery is beautiful.
The unique Muji Crater is the only high-altitude crater in Xinjiang. There are 13 craters distributed in it. Looking down from the sky, it is like the Eye of the Pamirs. Formed by wind erosion, the colorful Yadan landform, like a gorgeous earth art painting, is even more beautiful.
The Stone City on the north side of Taxkorgan Tajik Autonomous County is a famous ancient city site on the ancient Silk Road. The terrain is steep and you can imagine the style of the ancient country.
If you have the opportunity to go to a Tajik village, experience local life, feel the hospitality and unique folk culture of the Tajik people, and appreciate the traditional Tajik architecture, it is like traveling through time and reliving the traditional charm.
Before going to the Pamir Plateau or returning, you must visit the ancient city of Kashgar. There are intricate alleys and exotic buildings with various styles, and you can taste the rich ethnic customs and historical heritage.
When we drove on the China-Pakistan Friendship Highway and crossed the Pamir Plateau, the scenery along the way was very magnificent. On one side were cliffs and on the other side were high mountain canyons. You can enjoy a variety of landscapes such as snow-capped mountains, grasslands, and lakes.
Of course, the most unforgettable and exciting one is the Panlong Ancient Road, a popular online highway. In just 30 kilometers, the altitude rises sharply from 3,000 meters to 4,200 meters. There are hundreds of bends, like a black dragon winding through the mountains. The driving experience is both thrilling and exciting. As the saying goes: After going through all the detours today, life will be smooth sailing from now on!

Let&#39;s go! Go to southern Xinjiang! Go to the Pamir Plateau! It&#39;s more romantic than the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and more extreme than western Sichuan. You will feel uneasy if you don&#39;t go there in this life.

There is a plateau, which is at the westernmost end of China&#39;s territory.
Going further west, you will go out of the country, where there are Tajikistan and Afghanistan, the real western world.
Compared with the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, this plateau is more remote and less visited, both geographically and psychologically.
There is a vast sky and land, but it has exhausted the imagination of the world for thousands of years.
