Apricot flower in Datong

The route can take 3-5 days according to the situation. The most common way is to turn back from tashkergan county to Datong township. This line almost contains the essence of Pamirs apricot flower, and has many elements such as snow mountain, gorge, village, pastoral and Tajik villagers. It takes about 3 days. Datong township is the most famous outdoor exploration destination in Kashgar, which is located in the valley of the hinterland of Pamir. Although it has a name similar to Han, more than 90% of the villagers are Tajiks.

The canyon here is deep, isolated from the world, and the folk customs are also very simple. The houses in the village are just like a paradise. On the way to Datong Township, you will pass through the Tajik villages such as kukesiluke Township and Ta'er township. All of them are full of apricot flowers, like a feast of colors, while the cold snow mountains and desolate canyons surround those apricot trees. The strong visual contrast is breathtaking.

The other route is from Ta county to Kashgar after passing Datong Township and kuslapu township. It takes about 4-5 days. In addition to the landscape of the above line, this line can also enjoy the scenery of Pamir valley without the trouble of going back. Through a huge and desolate valley, you can see groups of goats and grazing villagers in this harsh environment. This kind of scene has a great visual impact for the first time tourists. However, it should be noted that because kuslapu township is located at the border, the management of tourists is relatively strict. If the local police require to register the certificates of tourists passing by, please cooperate.
