6-Day Tour of Pamir Plateau and Apricot Blossom in Southern Xinjiang

[Opening]:
The apricot blossoms in southern Xinjiang are mainly distributed in the ancient villages, ancient roads and along the Yarkand River in the Pamir Plateau, and the apricot blossoms in Taxkorgan Tajik Autonomous County (abbreviated as Taxkorgan County) are the most famous. The apricot blossoms here are known as the most beautiful spring scenery in southern Xinjiang. Different from the colorful apricot blossoms in northern Xinjiang, the apricot blossoms in southern Xinjiang are beautifully lonely, taking root in deep canyons, and calling steep mountain streams and rushing riverbeds their homes, giving them a sense of "isolation from the world and independence".
