I. Detailed Introduction to the Route or Destination
Kashgar, a millennium-old city located on the western border of China, attracts countless travelers with its rich cultural heritage of various ethnic groups, magnificent natural scenery, and unique geographical location. The Khunjerab Pass, as a land trade port between China and Pakistan, is renowned worldwide as the ‘highest-altitude port in the world.’ It is not only an important node on the ancient Silk Road but also a symbol of modern Sino-Pakistani friendship.
The Khunjerab Pass is located within Taxkorgan Tajik Autonomous County in the Kashgar region, approximately 300 kilometers from downtown Kashgar. Along the way, you will traverse the Pamir Plateau, witnessing magnificent snow-capped mountains, vast grasslands, and unique villages of various ethnic groups. The pass itself, at an altitude of 4,733 meters, is covered in snow and ice throughout the year, with thin air, yet it boasts breathtaking natural landscapes. Standing at the border of the pass, you can overlook the Sost Port in Pakistan and experience the unique atmosphere of the border between the two countries.
