[Spring in Southern Xinjiang: Secret Realm of Apricot Blossoms in Pamir] 3-Day Carpooling In-Depth Tour in 2026:Visit the hidden apricot blossom villages and unlock the spring scenery of the plateau river valley
Limited-time spring beauty:The secret realm of apricot blossoms on the Pamir Plateau
When the spring breeze sweeps across the Pamir Plateau, the Tashkurgan River Valley, at an altitude of over 3,000 meters, transforms into a sea of pink and white blossoms. Unlike the gentle apricot blossoms of southern China, the century-old naturally growing apricot trees here grow along the mountain slopes, forming a three-dimensional spring scenery together with the stone houses of various ethnic groups and the winding Yarkant River. From late March to mid-April 2026, during the peak blooming period of apricot blossoms, we have specially designed a 3-day carpooling itinerary to take you through the Panlong Ancient Road, visiting hidden villages such as Datong and Taer to experience the vitality and poetry of spring on the plateau.
Route Highlights:Three core experiences
In-depth exploration of apricot blossom villages
Datong Township:Known as the ‘No. 1 Apricot Blossom Village in Pamir,’ century-old trees are distributed along the river valley. Elders from various ethnic groups sit under the blossoming trees playing the rawap, while children run and play among the falling petals.
Taer Township:Venture into Alemalek Village, where apricot trees coexist with white poplars and populus euphratica, forming a unique landscape of ‘three trees coexisting.’ Participate in home visits to families of various ethnic groups and taste homemade yogurt and nang bread.
Integration of geological wonders and human culture
Baisha Lake:The lake surface presents a Tiffany blue hue amidst the morning mist, creating a dreamy scene with the distant Baisha Mountain. In 2026, new viewing platforms will be added to the scenic area, allowing for close-up photography of reflections.
