Khunjerab Port is located in Taxkorgan Tajik Autonomous County, with an altitude of more than 5,000 meters, which is the highest port in the world.
The Khunjerab Port was an important pass on the famous ancient Silk Road as early as 1,000 years ago. It is the land entry and exit channel from China to Pakistan, and it is also an important gateway to South Asia and even Europe. The scenery here is magnificent, but the environment is harsh, known as the "Valley of Death". When arriving at Khunjerab Port, tourists usually take pictures at the No. 7 boundary marker of CMB.
Most of the residents living around the Khunjerab Pass are Tajiks, and they are called "Heavenly People". Walking into Khunjerab is like entering a "fairyland on earth". The beautiful Tajik costumes, hospitable Tajik etiquette, and delicious Tajik food all make people feel the simplicity, kindness and friendliness of the Tajik people.
