    Known as the "Father of Glaciers," its grandeur is undeniable. A close-up look at the Muztagh Ata Glacier is possible. The last stretch involves horseback riding, costing 100 yuan, and is a bit difficult on foot at an altitude of 4600 meters.

    In mid-August, Baisha Lake was bathed in blue skies and white clouds, the water and sky blending into one, and bustling with tourists. The sun was blazing, the lake breeze was strong, but altitude sickness was largely absent, and the white yaks by the lake were docile and adorable.

    Ticket checking at the entrance was a bit lax, and the standards for full-price and half-price tickets seemed to vary. However, the lake view was beautiful, and the experience was wonderful, with some satisfying horseback riding photos. I passed by again during the day and was again struck by the beauty. It's definitely worth a visit.

    The scenic area is located in the westernmost part of China, bordering Kyrgyzstan, and the village of Simukana, where it is situated, is the place in China where the sun sets latest. The distant views are beautiful, but the mountaintop is windy and cold.

    The scenic area's location on Ctrip was incorrect. After passing the main gate, you actually have to drive another 30 kilometers to reach the final glacier park. I was confused at first and couldn't find the correct entrance. I called and learned that I had to drive to the very end. The alpine meadow at the end of Oytak Glacier Park is absolutely stunning. I came here solely for this. Following the guide, I found a horseman and rode up there. The 50 yuan one-way price was a great deal, but the route he took was quite steep and somewhat dangerous. Once we reached the alpine meadow, we realized how truly beautiful it was. Someone was taking wedding photos there; the bride was stunning! There's a new wooden plank road to the right of the wide grassland. It's not fully finished yet, but we went up it without realizing it. We discovered the true expanse of grassland, filled with herds of cattle and sheep. It's a truly stunning photo opportunity! Everyone is welcome to explore.
