    "Going to southern Xinjiang without going to Kashgar is equivalent to not going, and going to Kashgar without going to the old city will be a lifelong regret! In general, maybe all kinds of media have praised the old city of Kashgar too much, and there will be some overstatement after personal experience. Everyone has a heart in Kashgar and I imagined it to be so perfect!"

    "After arriving at the parking lot, you can reach the Tianmen Observation Deck within an hour on foot. The scenery is good, the wind is very big, the road is not very good, and there are some ice and snow sections, suitable for time, while walking to see the scenery along the way."

    "Sister Mei traveled to China on the 95th day, Taxian Panlong Ancient Road today walked all the detours of life from now on life is a section of the road from Kashgarta County to Wacha Township. In order for the farmers and herdsmen on the Pamir Plateau to easily get out of the plateau and better contact with the outside world, a road built by Shenzhen was built here on a ridge. The process of building the ancient road is very difficult, because the mountains where the ancient road is located are sandy and rocky, the texture is relatively loose, and it is not possible to cross the mountain to tunnel, nor can it build a viaduct through the east, so the S road built on the mountain is the most stable and safe. Just 30 kilometers of mountain roads, but there are hundreds of S curves, from 3,000 meters above sea level to 4,200 meters! Panlong Ancient Road divided into large Panlong and small Panlong. Taxian came to enter the first is the big panlong, although the curve is very large, but the curve is not so dense, there are many observation decks along the way to park to see the scenery; Then came the challenging little dragon, the winding, neat curve down, like a black dragon coiled in the mountains. Whether it is a visual experience, or a driving experience, it will make people adrenaline surge, heart tide! Note: 1. You can't go back. There is another road that can go back to Ta County. We are directly back to Kashgar. Tomorrow, we should maintain the car. Vehicles of seats and above cannot enter Panlong Ancient Road. The RV is not good, mainly because the roadbed is too soft. 3. The whole process must be controlled with good speed. Especially Xiaopanlong, the smallest bend of 10 yards is passed, Dapanlong can be about 30 yards 4. Now no tickets are charged, the East Exit is repairing the tourist service center, and it is not clear if there is no charge in the future. 5. The return road is 20 minutes away. It is "Why is the flower so red" 4A scenic spot, there is a tourist service center, There are also many parking spaces and farmhouse dining accommodation. If you start from Ta County in the morning, stop and watch the scenery along the way. It is suitable to eat here at noon. 1. Panlong Ancient Road West Entrance 2. Longhuitou Observation Deck (Large Panlong) 3. Panlongding Observation Deck, 4216 meters above sea level 4. Xiaopanlong Observation Deck 15. Watching the Dragon, 270 degrees on Xiaopanlong 6. Watching the Dragon, In the distance is the small Panlong Observation Deck 17. The small Panlong Observation Deck 28. The east exit looks back at the small Panlong 9. Snow Mountain"

    "Originally, I went to the Red Sea Scenic Area and stopped seeing Populus euphratica forest, but because of the fever, I gave up the trip to the Pamir Plateau for two more days, so I went to see the golden Populus euphratica. The scenic spot is very large, and the Populus euphratica forest is very spectacular, although we are off the tail of the season this time."
