    Known as the "Father of Glaciers," its grandeur is undeniable. A close-up look at the Muztagh Ata Glacier is possible. The last stretch involves horseback riding, costing 100 yuan, and is a bit difficult on foot at an altitude of 4600 meters.

    From Kashgar to Ta County, the plateau lake along the way. The water surface is not as big as Baisha Lake. Surrounded by mountains. It is close to Mustagh Peak, so the altitude is almost four kilometers. The attraction is free, because it is on the edge of the national road. Most tourists are self-driving or chartered.

    It is worth punching in the attractions. Need to pay attention: 1. Here is 3000 altitude, climb the stone tablet to pay attention to slow action to prevent high reaction. 2. The top of the mountain is very windy, pay attention to warmth. 3. Strict speed limit (60) along the way, be sure to pay attention to safety.

    Kizilsu Glacier Park (Oyitak Glacier Park) is located in the western mountainous area of ​​Oyitak Town, Akto County, Xinjiang, situated on the Pamir Plateau. It boasts a 2804-meter-high modern glacier, originating from the 6678-meter-high Aylanish Snow Mountain. After a 30-kilometer drive from G314 onto the county road, passing through the Red Stone Canyon, the snow-capped mountains gradually come into view. Riding a tall horse, you finally arrive at the foot of the glacier. The park is covered with extremely high levels of virgin forest, including spruce and juniper, somewhat resembling the Alps.
