Exploring the Eye of Pamir:2026 Kashgar 4-Day In-Depth Customized Itinerary for Volcanic Secret Realm: Comprehensive Analysis of Vehicle Usage
🌋 [Route Highlights:Geological Symphony of Volcanoes and Wetlands]
At the western end of the Pamir Plateau lies a hidden gem known by geologists as the ‘Living Fossil of Cold Volcanoes in China’—the Muji Volcano Group. This unique landscape, composed of 68 volcanic cones, formed between 6,300 and 2,700 years ago. Its calcareous sinter-type volcanic structures are rare globally. Recent field surveys in 2026 reveal gold ore veins, primary gemstone belts, and 13 glacial lakes surrounding the volcanic craters, creating a striking visual contrast with the distant Muztagh Ata peak at 7,546 meters.
The itinerary includes a special crossing of the Taxkorgan Wetland, a 3,000-meter-high plateau pasture traditionally used by local ethnic groups for grazing. During summer (June-August), over 200 species of alpine plants grow here, attracting herds of Pamir yaks and argali sheep to graze. Professional guides will lead visitors to identify trilobite fossils in the rock formations and explain the symbiotic relationship between volcanic activity and wetland ecology.
