The apricot blossoms in Southern Xinjiang are so beautiful, you really don't come?

The best travel guide for the apricot blossom season in Tashi County [Tiptop] 📍Best Location: [One] Datong Township: Located in Taxkorgan County, it is known as a "paradise on earth". The century-old apricot trees in the river valley and the ancient villages complement each other. Among them, the most famous is the [Happiness No. 5 Bridge], which is located at the entrance of Datong Township. The wooden structure bridge spans the river valley. There are dense apricot trees on both sides. The pink and white petals, flowing water and wooden bridge form a classic picture, which is suitable for photographing landscapes that combine humanity and nature. [Two] Tal Township: There are large tracts of pink apricot blossom forests along the river, which are very charming and suitable for photography. [Three] Kukosiruk Township: The latest place to bloom on the Pamir Plateau, with unique scenery. 🚉Transportation strategy: Starting from Kashgar, it is recommended to charter a car or drive yourself. It takes about 4-5 hours to drive to Tashkurgan County, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Baisha Lake, Muztagh Ata Peak and so on along the way. After entering Xinghua Village, some sections of the road are narrow and you need to drive carefully. 🛏Accommodation conditions: Most of the accommodations in Xinghua Village are in herdsmen's homes. The conditions are simple and the price is about RMB 100 per person per night, including breakfast. Some rooms offer shower facilities, which need to be confirmed in advance. The Donggui Posthouse in Tar Township is considered to be a relatively good accommodation. 🍽Dining recommendations: There are limited dining facilities along the way, and herders’ homes can provide simple meals such as beef hotpot. It is recommended to bring your own dry food and drinking water. ⏳Best viewing period: Datong Township: Low altitude, blooms in late March Tal Township: Blooms at the end of March Kukosiluk Township: Blooming in early April The best viewing period is from mid-to-late March to early April every year, and the specific time is affected by the temperature.

[Medicine]Prevention of altitude sickness: Tashikawa County is at a high altitude. It is recommended to prepare preventive medicines in advance, such as glucose oral solution, headache medicine, and purchase oxygen cylinders when necessary. 📸Photography tips: Use a telephoto lens, shoot from above or below to avoid the crowd, and use flowers as the foreground to add a sense of layering.
