Stunning check-in spot! In-depth travel guide to Mustagh Ata Peak on the Pamir Plateau

Big news! For those planning to visit Mustagh Ata Peak, listen up! Vienna International Hotel is indeed an excellent base choice in Kashgar, but you must know this important information:

📍Mustagh Ata Peak is actually in Taxkorgan County (full name: Taxkorgan Tajik Autonomous County)
📍Vienna Hotel is in Kashgar city

These two places are 300 kilometers apart, and the drive takes 5-6 hours! 🚗💨

Here’s a super practical itinerary guide ⬇️
Most recommended way to travel 👇

✨Option 1: Stay 1-2 nights in Taxkorgan (best for in-depth travel)✨

Day 1: Arrive in Kashgar

📝 Must get the border pass! The front desk can help
🛍️ Stock up on supplies

Day 2: Kashgar → Taxkorgan
🚗 Charter a car and set off along G314 highway
Check-in spots along the way:
