Autumn in northern Pakistan is breathtakingly beautiful — like a real-life Shangri-La. The Karakoram Highway winds through snow-capped peaks and dramatic landscapes. It is said that Hayao Miyazaki drew inspiration from the magnificent scenery of Hunza when creating "Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind." Along the route, we cross the Khunjerab Pass, the world's highest paved international border crossing at approximately 4,800 meters, and enter southern Xinjiang — half culture, half nature. The ancient city of Kashgar, with over 2,000 years of history, is known as a "living fossil," while the Panlong Ancient Road with its 639 bends over 30 kilometers is legendary.
