Tashkurgan Feels Like Another World

#chinatravel Tashkurgan is honestly one of the most unreal places I’ve ever been. Way out in the far west of Xinjiang, this little town sits high up in the mountains, and the views? Absolutely insane. Snow-capped peaks, endless grasslands, and skies so blue it doesn’t feel real. It’s peaceful, raw, and just hits different. One of my favorite spots was the Stone Fortress, super ancient and full of history, with epic views all around. And the drive along the Karakoram Highway to get there? Easily one of the most beautiful road trips I’ve taken. You’re surrounded by giant mountains the whole way. The Tajik culture here is also amazing. Everyone was super welcoming, and the vibe is really chill and authentic. I stayed in a yurt for a night, watched yaks wander by, and stargazed under the clearest sky ever. If you’re into nature, culture, and total serenity, Tashkurgan is the spot. It’s remote, stunning, and so worth the journey.
