Starting from Kashgar, along the bumpy 2 14 national highway CMB, it took more than five hours to reach Tashkurgan County, the westernmost part of the motherland. Alar Cao Jin Beach is located in the east of the county seat, covering an area of about 20 square kilometers, and it is a wetland on the Pamirs. Under the blue sky and white clouds, the mountains are sandwiched, the rivers are vertical and horizontal, the grass is everywhere, the cattle and sheep are in groups, and the smoke is curled up, which constitutes a very beautiful picture.
The morning in Pamir is so charming. My parents and I arrived at Jincaotan early in the morning. From a distance, on a large green grassland in the valley, flocks of cattle and sheep leisurely stroll and graze, and yurts of different colors such as white and brown are dotted in the distance, shrouded in faint smoke and mist. The blue sky on the plateau is as pure as flawless crystal, and the towering peaks on both sides of the valley are covered with snow. There are big white clouds floating in the blue sky, snuggling up to the towering glacier snow peaks. Plumes of golden sunshine emerged from the white clouds and splashed on the grass, like a mother's gentle touch. It's quiet and peaceful here.
Walk into the golden grass beach and walk on the boardwalk. At the foot are thin or thick, urgent or slow streams, which are interspersed. The gurgling sound of running water is endless. Red, green, small plants and a large group of aquatic plants decorate the streams, adding a bit of interest to the quiet wetland. At the end of the wooden plank road, there are two big wooden waterwheels, which make a "crunching" sound when turning, as if talking to cattle and sheep that bark twice from time to time.
A strong big black cow is grazing leisurely near the wooden plank road. I approached it, and it ignored me and ate as usual. On the side of the cow's head, put your mouth to the grass, roll the grass with your tongue, and shake your head slightly to roll the grass into your mouth. I was so close to it that I even heard the crisp sound of grass roots breaking!
