HFF. Tashkurgan.

HFF. Tashkurgan.
Tashkurgan is the north westernmost city in China situated at over 3000 meters in the Pamirs. It is close to the borders of Tajikistan and Pakistan and is predominantly Tajik, ethnically, and is in Xinjiang Province. We were here in 2000 when the road to it was a dirt one, and it was a tiny village with two grubby guesthouses. It is now a city with lots of modern hotels , official buildings, schools , traffic lights, electric cars and taxis, and a giant multi thousand panel solar farm to power it. It is the point from whic( to take transport over the 4700m Khunjerav Pass at the China-Pak border into North Pakistan…which we did. Such changes!
The mountains encircling the city are some 5-6000 meter Pamir peaks.

Have a festive preparation weekend…and hopefully enjoy good cheer!

Beautifully captured Diana.............such a striking scene! The tower with the eagle on top is very impressive and the snow-capped mountains make a magnificent backdrop. I like the sky and cloud formations too.

An interesting narrative as well............it's amazing how much this city has grown in such a relatively short time!!

The prosperous border towns. A beautiful landscape with mountains where I imagine the snow will be perpetual. A monument that would be strange for a Westerner. The photography is a marvel.
