In this vast world, you will never find a second place like Xinjiang that:
1.66 million square kilometers,
It gathers the cultural customs of 47 ethnic groups,
Mountains, grasslands, deserts, oases, gobies, yardangs,
Cattle and sheep, wooden houses, flower seas, forests, glaciers, lakes, snowy mountains,
Ethnic groups, music, dance, cuisine,
Culture, history, Silk Road, ancient cities.
Some people went to Xinjiang by self-driving,
After traveling thousands of kilometers across northern and southern Xinjiang,
I dodged the ‘flower poison’ of Ili,
I dodged the ‘autumn addiction’ of Kanas,
Yet ultimately, 300 kilometers away from Kashgar,
A small county called Tashkurgan ‘stole my soul’
It lingers in one’s mind for a long time.
Tashkurgan
A small town separated by thousands of peaks and valleys
Tashkurgan Tajik Autonomous County
Also known as Taxkorgan,
This small county on the China-Pakistan border
It holds too many wonderful things.
Whether it’s the starry sky shining brightly like lamps,
Mountains towering into the clouds,
Or the deep eyes of Tajik girls with Caucasian features,
All of it is enough to make you captivated,
Once you come, you will become addicted
Here stands the snow-capped Mount Muztagh Ata
The beautiful and colorful Karakul Lake
In the hearts of Tajik youth men and women
Is a symbol of pure love
The snow that never melts on top of the mountain throughout the year
It symbolizes unwavering love
While in Karakul Lake
The true-to-life reflections
It resembles the hazy affection between lovers
Taxkorgan County
It is a fairyland at the foot of Mount Muztagh Ata
Every mountain and stream forms a scenery
To get to Taxkorgan County
Generally, one starts from Kashgar City
Throughout the journey
The scenery along the way changes with the terrain
All you have to do is face outside the car
The beautiful scenery arrives as scheduled
This was once the place where Xuanzang passed through on his way back east a thousand years ago,
Located deep within the Kunlun Mountains,
Its steepness is comparable to that of Routes 318, 219, 317, and Bingchacha.
Even today, traversing this highway is by no means an easy task,
Only a very few people have come here by self-driving or cycling.
However, due to the construction of the reservoir,
This place will soon be submerged,
This highway will no longer exist!
