The beautiful Xinjiang, the beauty that can't be seen enough

We Yazhi factory teams visit Xinjiang . We had seen Xinjiang Photo and videos several times, but  never feel the tour by myself. My company help us to realize dream.The scenery there is fascinating, not much to say about the picture ! Let’s introduce our tourist with mountains in Xinjiang during our 6days trip.

Karakul Lake along the KKH

 

Along China’s Karakoram Highway between Kashgar and Tashkorgan you’ll run into the pristine Karakul Lake. It’s not a particularly large lake, but it is picturesque, especially with the majestic Muztaghata mountain in the background.

 

 my group set up tent next to the lake.Unfortunately, this is no longer allowed.

Majestic Mountains.Even in the photos above you can see that mountains play a prominent role in Xinjiang’s landscape.

Multiple mountain ranges cut through or border Xinjiang including the TianShan, Kunlun and Pamir among others.

TianShan Range of Central Xinjiang

When flying in and out of Urumqi, it’s the TianShan range that you’ll see out your window. The Tian Shan, which slices through the middle of Xinjiang, was named to UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 2013.

I took this particular photo during one of my favorite Xinjiang road trips (link includes awesome video of the trip!).

Pamir Mountains of West Xinjiang

The Pamir Mountains, located on the western edge of Xinjiang near the Silk Road town of Kashgar, are a stunning backdrop to places like Tashkorgan’s Stone Fort, which you see above.

I enjoyed taking photos during sunrise here during my most recent trip to Tashkorgan.Altay Mountains of North Xinjiang

 

Northern Xinjiang, which is home to the Kanas Lake mentioned earlier, also shares the Altay Mountains with neighbors like Kazakhstan and Russia.

According to legend, it’s in these mountains that snow skiing was first invented.

Kunlun Mountains of Xinjiang

 The Kunlun Mountains are the range that runs the border between Xinjiang and Tibet.

You’re likely to see this range if you ever have the chance to travel the Tibet-Xinjiang highway, the highest paved road in the world.

Welcome to you China to visit Xinjiang. It’s amazing trip will remember in my mind always.
