Before coming here from Kashgar, all we saw were snowy mountains, deserts, and gray rivers. Coming here and seeing this endless and beautiful Golden Sand Beach wetland was a pleasant surprise. At sunrise, the Golden Grass Beach in Taxkorgan County is glittering with gold. There is a plank road in the middle. Under the sunshine, the plank road is glittering with gold. Looking closely, we found that it was many sand grains sparkling. Could it be gold? Walking on this winding plank road that leads to the horizon, the autumn golden grass is on both sides. Looking to the left, there is a shiny snowy mountain. Walking forward on the left, the wetland has more obvious rivers and pebbles, and many small tributaries branch off. Standing on the plank road in the grassland, all you can see in your eyes are blue sky, white clouds, snowy peaks, grasslands, rivers, as well as bridges and waterwheels… In a trance, it is like a fairyland. Overnight stay in Kashgar.
