Tahaman Wetland is located in the Tashkurgan area of Kashgar, Xinjiang, in the east of the Pamir Plateau, at the foot of Mustagh Peak, more than 3,000 meters above sea level, surrounded by mountains, the largest wetland in Tashkurgan.
The scenery is beautiful, and the snow-capped mountains are seen at a close distance, and the photos are very beautiful. The air is also very good.
🏞 The car galloped on G314 and entered the territory of Tashkurgan, and officially entered the Pamir Plateau. 🏔 From then on, Mustag Peak and its adjacent Gonggel Peak, as well as Gonggel Jiube Peak, became a loyal background board. Under the blue sky, it glowed. 🗻 The snow that is perennial is not only a beautiful scenery on the plateau, but also a wetland and meadow, so that the Ta people can live and work in this land for generations. 🧗♂️ Moustag Peak is also the goal that climbers want to conquer.
