📜 Route Background and Geographic Features
The Pamir Plateau, praised by Chinese National Geography as “the roof of the highlands,” has an average elevation of over 4,000 meters and is the convergence point of several major mountain ranges in Asia. This specially designed route of the Anyi Special Train will take you across the Tianshan Mountains from north to south, ultimately reaching this pristine land at the foot of Muztagh Ata, known as the “Father of Icebergs.”
Recent field surveys in 2026 show that tourism development on the Pamir Plateau has formed a “one core, three belts” pattern:With Kashgar as the distribution center, extending southward along the China-Pakistan Friendship Highway, connecting the three core scenic belts of Baisha Lake, Karakul Lake, and Muztagh Ata. According to data from the Xinjiang Department of Culture and Tourism, the region received a 27% year-on-year increase in visitors in 2026, with Baisha Lake becoming the most popular check-in spot among tourists.

👩💼 Professional Tour Leader’s Take on the Itinerary
“The most essential part of this route is days D10-D11,” said Wang Fei, Manager of Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency. “Departing from Kashgar along the China-Pakistan Friendship Highway, you’ll pass Subashi Daban at an elevation of 4,090 meters, where you can see the ‘pyramid’ shape of Kongur Jiubie Peak. When you arrive at Baisha Lake, I recommend walking halfway around the lake first to appreciate the changing colors of the water from different angles, then finally capturing the reflection of Muztagh Ata from the observation deck.”
Wang Fei especially reminds:“In 2026, the Pamir Plateau scenic areas have implemented a new reservation system. All visitors must make a real-name reservation on the ‘Tour Xinjiang’ platform 3 days in advance. Our travel agency has established a green channel with the scenic areas, and group tourists can enjoy priority entry services.”
