2002,07,30 Taxkorgan

Under the more than 300 kilometers from Kashi Nan west point is Taxkorgan, the Pamirs on the border city.

Summer snow-capped mountains are melting, rain yesterday, who do not know whether we can successfully reach the Taxkorgan. - This Road has an annual flash floods, washed out roads.

Off-road vehicles out of Kashgar, advance to the south. Highlights the distant snow-capped mountains clouds, in the early morning sun appeared dignified calm.

Off-road vehicles into the mountains we find that a road is extremely difficult, a lot of embankment were washed away, and off-road vehicles to numerous underground sidewalk detours, bumps powerful.

Deep in the mountains on top of a gentle flood, we have met the first dial Tajiks. Their expressions of people on the plateau contains a unique taste of silence at the moment the child, and only picked up a child holding a ruby, hoping in exchange for a pedestrian's hat, water bottle, watches, like the daily necessities. Distance is their stone house, hard to stand in the high mountains under the clouds, indicating a strong way of life; while a group of cattle in the flood on the slowly moving, soft, as they occasionally swinging tail.

A hard and soft under the sun in the plateau clearly to prove the existence of an ancient way of life and extension.

Old everywhere. Flood at the end there are several yurt, yurt side of the open ground, Tajik women are packed together with wool, ox hair, put them together loosely scattered, scattered ground floor; 67 men were lined up to kneel on the ground energetically with the blanket drive: Together, they bow their heads with the beat roll blankets, along with the rise of rest, movement coordination and tidy. A moment later, loose blankets were compacted, can be made Zhe Yu, you can make the bed of felt cloth.

Off-road vehicles move on, more and more luxuriant grass, grass at the end of the mass of water, that is the world's highest plateau lakes - Kara kul Lake.

Kara kul Lake is the Kirghiz people's ranch. However, do not know who, using wire surrounded the highway side of the Lake, at the entrance built a Han-style arches, towering to make people feel a glare. Kirghiz people use a clumsy Chinese language and gestures to indicate you have to buy tickets ......

Kara kul lake more than 3600 meters above sea level continued to climb in front of the big board, the number of girls have a little altitude sickness feeling.

Dark clouds, we arrived at Taxkorgan.

Taxkorgan is a small town, only two short streets, the real should be the same: a crusty pancakes can be rolled first.

Doing business inside the county but many Han Chinese, ethnic characteristics, merely a reflection of a woman's hat in Tajikistan: the approximate elliptical cylinder wear the hat on his head, even with a hanging to Wing On, covered his neck.

After walking around in a circle, I realize if they do not pull Po Hung its port, then do not really matter whether Taxkorgan.

Taxkorgan no Internet cafes, because communication through microwave transmission, with no phone lines. Post Office Secretary said: that is, only a mobile phone signal Taxkorgan year; Taxkorgan did not pass the original cable, 911 incident, the Lanzhou Military Region transferred to the army, took only 20 days from the optical shop to the Kashgar Taxkorgan.

"See Natiao ridge it?" Post office not far from the Secretary pointed to the mountain, said: "That's borders; hill not far from the other side is that Tajikistan and Pakistan."

Said the Tajik people would hang on kissing hand, but with the way the Europeans enforcement ceremony is exactly the opposite: a woman about to kiss a man's palm. - Unfortunately, I do not know any of the Tajik woman.

Tian Sean down, tomorrow morning Zaiqu Stone let's see it!

2002,07,31 hurry

Under a night rain, I really worry that the road is smooth Kashgar.

Morning and go to Stone, Stone found the end of the street in Taxkorgan from the Pamir hotel we were staying to walk only five minutes.

Stone is the Tajik people in the early AD built cities, only a few pieces of the collapsed ruins. In this gloomy rainy day, shooting the film does not come out good. Dao Shi stood overlooking the Stone opposite the flood, do not have school of life leisurely atmosphere.

To the flood on the walk should be the most interesting things Taxkorgan. 3322 flood on the stone, stone piled up behind the cow dung, horse, cattle, sheep and lowered their heads and slowly chewing grass.

Tajik flood on the children who ran, with open eyes looked shiny us. One of the smallest girl, very bright smile, Huo Tuotuo's a beautiful doll, habitat without fear of facing my camera.

Today, to return to Kashgar, and then continued on our way to the Atushi. - That is Kizilsu Autonomous Prefecture, is the Xinjiang Uygur neighborhoods of the most affluent.

Again, off-road vehicles when crossing the big board, mountain school of white, snow mixed with rain water falling down ......
