Korla:As the starting point, it is an important gateway into Southern Xinjiang, known for Bosten Lake and Tiemenguan Pass. In September, the reeds of Bosten Lake gradually turn yellow and water birds gather, making it suitable for a brief stay before heading west.

Tashkurgan:Located on the Pamir Plateau with an average altitude exceeding 3,000 meters, September daytime temperatures are around 15°C, cooler in the morning and evening. Around the county town are the Stone City ruins and Golden Grassland wetland, where you can observe the interplay of sunrise mist and plateau meadows.
Please note:Some sections of the Pamir scenic area are at high altitude, so the itinerary should be arranged gradually to avoid high-intensity activities on the first day. In addition, National Highway G314 (China-Pakistan Friendship Highway) is in good condition, but mountain weather is changeable; if temporary traffic control occurs, the itinerary may be changed through negotiation according to actual conditions.
