Day 2-3: Urumqi – Bayinbuluk Setting forth from Urumqi, we head to Bayinbuluk. Known for its expansive grasslands, it’s where the wind whispers stories of ancient nomads. Swathes of flowers, grazing herds, and the spectacular Swan Lake form an idyllic backdrop.

Day 4: Tashkurgan – Stone City Upon reaching Tashkurgan, we are greeted by the Stone City, a testament to the region’s rich history. Once the capital of the ancient Puli Kingdom and an integral stop on the Silk Road, its ruins narrate tales of bygone eras.

Day 5-7: Karakul Lake – Muztagh Ata Peak Our next destination is Karakul Lake, a pristine jewel cradled between lofty peaks. As we venture further, we are captivated by the majestic Muztagh Ata Peak.

This lake, concealed within the Kunlun Mountains, is believed to be guarded by dragons that control the weather.
