Hunza Valley, Pakistan.

The Hunza Valley in Pakistan has beautiful autumn colors.

It is located next to the China-Pakistan Friendship Highway, about 1.5 hours' drive from the Pakistani port of Sust. It has convenient transportation and can be reached by chartered car or bus at a reasonable price.

It is said to be the prototype of Hayao Miyazaki's "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" and is a famous longevity town and tourist destination in Pakistan.

Old Hunza Inn, a favorite homestay for Chinese backpackers, is located halfway up the mountain in Aliabad. It can be reached on foot or by local bus. The scenery is first-class. Across the mountain is the world's 27th peak, Rakaposhi (7,788 meters 27th). It was just cloudy when I went there, so I didn't take any pictures.

The atmosphere in the guesthouse and restaurant of the B&B is quite comfortable and full of relaxation. The rooftop terrace is also nice, where you can sunbathe and enjoy the scenery. The owner, Leo (Chinese name Gaoyuan), has lived in China for some time and knows a little Chinese, so communication is relatively easy. It is also relatively easy to meet Chinese backpackers here, making it an ideal place to stay when staying in Hunza.

You can negotiate the price with the boss. It seems that the boss is quite friendly to Chinese people. During our stay, he invited us to drink tea and picked a lot of apples in the yard to eat.

This place is not far from the old palace of Hunza, just a short walk up the mountain.

The partners in the B&B are also very nice. When I returned to China, the boss's brother personally drove me to the port. He rented a car for RMB 200.

The last few pictures show the B&B and the owner himself. The hotel itself is not on the main road, but if you can't find the place, just ask the locals on the road and they will know where it is. The locals are very friendly.
