Most of the time I wake up naturally at nine o'clock in the morning. There are basically no curtains in the homes of Tajik fellow villagers, so I set off at dawn.

When we woke up, the little kid who was studying at the door last night was still awake. While we were brushing our teeth, she got up and played with us in the stream.

Ergou used the leftover rice from last night to make us a bowl of egg fried rice. There was no salt and soy sauce, only dark soy sauce. It was a hard work for this young man.

We are full of energy and ready to go to the most important part of Tasha Ancient Trail.

We set off at around 10 o'clock and didn't arrive in Yarkand until 18 o'clock. It took about eight hours of driving.

The West Kunlun Mountains are really steep, and the Tasha Ancient Road is a road carved out of this mountainside.

Although the journey was extremely thrilling, it was much better than the path taken by those before us.

The Tasha Ancient Road was the path Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty took when he returned from India to seek Buddhist scriptures and crossed the Pamir Plateau.

Three-quarters of the Tasha Ancient Trail is a one-way street, and today was also the time when we honked the horn the most during this self-driving trip.

The wall-mounted road carved out of the mountainside looks like Bingchazuo when driving. The scenery in the first half is also slightly similar, but the second half is simply beautiful. The reservoir deep in the Kunlun Mountains is like turquoise, mirror-like tranquility.

There are also many sinking sections on the Tasha Ancient Road. Fortunately, there are not many washboard roads now and they have basically been repaired. At most, there have been some more landslides in the past two years.

The Tasha Ancient Trail, as the name suggests, runs from Taxkorgan to Yarkand, passing through the entire West Kunlun Mountains, and can be arranged in about 2-3 days.

Now is the apricot blossom season, so you can enjoy the flowers and walk on the ancient road at the same time. Usually you can stay in Kukoshiluk Township or Tartajik Township on the first day, stay in Datong Township on the second day, and leave from Datong Township on the third day.

Head to Yarkand and spend a day walking the most breathtaking part of the Tasha Trail.

In short, if you want to take the Tasha Ancient Trail, you must drive slowly!

This road cannot be found on the Amap and Baidu maps!

Just walk forward boldly along the road, it's just one road.

However, it is worth reminding that the speed bump is extremely high, so don’t damage the car.

We fell asleep in a daze, and we arrived at the land of walnuts. We were about to reach Yarkand. There were apricot flowers all the way. It is no exaggeration to say that some of the apricot flowers here have faded and have grown green leaves.

, a huge piece.

After arriving in Yarkand, after being hungry all day, we first had a whole pigeon roasted with naan, and then had a mouthful of pigeon soup, which was perfect.

Although we really enjoyed staying in a Tajik home, we were even more excited when we saw the newly opened hotel. We had not washed our hair or showered in two days and quickly took a shower.

Everything was ready, at half past eight in the evening, the sun had not yet set.

The two of us simply went out for a walk, and then we saw the hotel we had booked and arrived at the Old Town Road at a traffic light.

Walking into the small road behind Yarkand Old Town Road, it looks like a vegetable market, with all kinds of things for sale.

We strolled to the end of the street, where we saw the Palace of Yarkand Khan and the Tomb of Yarkand Khan. The whole os in my heart was: "Oh my God, it's so beautiful! Why are the buildings here so beautiful!!! I'm so excited!"

"... After taking a few photos, I thought about recording a video tomorrow to capture the same period, so that you can also feel how excited I am when I see this palace building.

Back on the street, I could smell the aroma of barbecue in the distance. I really didn’t understand the language, and I rarely eat mutton. I just ordered a few skewers because I wasn’t familiar with everyone. There were also restaurants like Kashgar Old Town nearby.

I also ordered one of the baked eggs.

The taste was okay, not too bad, but when we paid the bill, what happened?

8 skewers, 1 bottle of water, 1 egg, 11 yuan.

I can't believe the price.

Then we went to buy pomegranates, which cost 15 yuan per kilogram and 24 yuan for 2 large pomegranates... This ended our day's work and went back for a walk to rest.
