In March, the apricot blossoms are silent, yet they convey the endless romance of Southern Xinjiang

After the first sentence, spring breezes for miles can't compare to having you amidst the apricot blossoms in Southern Xinjiang in March! The Pamir in Southern Xinjiang, the beginning of spring in China, is a secret realm favored by 'National Geographic'. In the apricot blossom villages there, when the spring breeze caresses, the ancient apricot trees stretch their centennial forms, dancing with the mountains and rivers. The perilous and winding Tashkurgan trail is lined with competing apricot blossoms, like a feast of nature. The Tajik villages nestle quietly among them, where earthy yellow and pink interweave, reminiscent of the idyllic paradise described by Tao Yuanming, dreamlike and enchanting, captivating all who visit. And along this route, there are also the white sands of White Sand Lake, the Father of Ice Mountains - Muztagh Ata, the mirror-like azure Band-e Amir Lake, the serpentine Panlong Ancient Trail, and many more breathtaking sights. Flower viewing season: Around March 20th to April 10th every year, lasting for about half a month. Flower viewing route: Koksu Township - Tashkurgan Tajik Autonomous Township - Datong Township. Koksu Township: Here, the apricot blossoms bloom between snow-capped mountains and gorges, with a relatively later blooming period than other villages.
