Starting from Hongshankou, we officially entered the Pamir Plateau.
The lunch for the team was arranged in this restaurant. The team meals on the plateau are generally worse than those below, but it doesn&rsquo;t matter, just go with the flow, and don&rsquo;t eat too much, because the next step is more than 3,000 or 4,000 meters above sea level, and eating too much will easily cause altitude sickness.
The scenery along the way to Hongshankou is good, just as the name suggests, with patches of red mountains and beautiful Danxia landforms.

###🚩 Itinerary highlights - **Muji Volcano Group** (Kazh Tiemir Volcano Group): 13 thousand-year-old craters are embedded on the plateau at an altitude of 3,800 meters, and the lake water is decorated with fantastic colors such as green and orange red due to minerals. -**White Sand Lake**: passing through the &quot;blue tears&quot;, the lake water and white sand mountains intertwined, forming a pure environment.-**Karakule Lake**: &quot;colored lake&quot; at the foot of Moustag Peak, the lake water gradually changes from dark green to purple gold, the lakeside plank road can take the reflection of the snowy mountains and herd back to yak on foot. - **Light luxury accommodation at Muyun Camp**: Facing Gonggel Jiube Peak and Mustag Peak, pushing the window to see the 24-hour panoramic experience of the snowy mountains. ---### 📅 Itinerary route **📍 Day 1: Kashgar &rarr; Baisha Lake &rarr; Muji Volcano (Airport Core Day) **-** Morning ** Departure from Kashgar (Prepare the ** Border Protection Certificate ** in advance, indicate &quot;Kazilsu Kirkze Autonomous Prefecture&quot; and &quot;Kashgar Area&quot;), drive 3 hours to Baisha Lake.

When the drone buzzes the birds on the lakeside, and the eyes of the earth crack under the lens, you will understand that this place of God&#39;s forgetting is telling the epic of ice and fire in the most primitive language.

Although this place is not labeled as a hotel or restaurant, the services and the food of various cuisines are no worse than those in hotels and are highly praised by the residents.
