Having taken all the detours in this life, from now on my path shall be straightforward

❤️Recommended Reason: The Panlong Ancient Road, also known as the Waqia Road, is 36 kilometers long, with the highest altitude reaching 4,200 meters and a vertical drop of 1,000 meters. The road has 600 S-curves from the top to the bottom of the mountain. It perfectly embodies magic, wonder, magnificence, and excitement. The Panlong Ancient Road is divided into the Great Panlong and the Small Panlong. The Great Panlong has larger curves but the bends are not dense, and there are many viewing platforms along the way for tourists to enjoy the scenery; the Small Panlong Road winds down and is very challenging! ✅Must Experience: Compared to the 72 bends in Tibet, it's even more thrilling and challenging! 🌟Highlights: Beyond the exit of the Panlong Ancient Road, you will pass the 'Bandier Blue Lake'—the blue jewel of the Pamir Plateau! It is actually the lower basin reservoir of the Tashkurgan River, and the water near Bandier Township is relatively deep, appearing bluer, hence it's commonly referred to as 'Blue Lake'. The sky, white clouds, and distant mountains reflected on the Tiffany blue lake surface are intoxicating😌 Further ahead is the Karakoram Highway, also known as the China-Pakistan Friendship Snow Mountain Highway, an international road from China to Pakistan. The China-Pakistan Friendship Snow Mountain Road, as an important road connecting the two countries, not only showcases the magnificent natural scenery but also witnesses the friendship and cooperation between the people of China and Pakistan. 📝Note Tips: Be aware that the Panlong Ancient Road is currently one-way. At the highest point, the altitude exceeds 4,000 meters, so take it slow to avoid altitude sickness!
