The highest volcanic crater in Xinjiang, surrounded by glaciers, snow-capped mountains and wetlands, is super beautiful

In Xinjiang, there are many large and small volcanoes, and even form volcanic groups, and the craters of dormant volcanoes or extinct volcanoes are the ones that tourists can watch most closely. Muji Crater is a dormant volcano that has been dormant for thousands of years. It is a special crater.

Muji is located at the intersection of Kunlun Mountains and Tianshan Mountains , is the western pole of China, where the sun lasts on mainland China, and is also the village of Kirgiz . There is such a proverb in the local area: "Seven big river beaches, ninety-nine bays, buttocks can't be worn out, and you can't reach Muji Beach". It takes a lot of effort to get to Muji, but the more difficult it is to reach, the more beautiful the scenery is. As the town with the highest altitude in the Pamirs, Muji is known for its strange scenery on the high-altitude plateau.

Muji is located at the intersection of the Kunlun Mountains and the Tianshan Mountains. It is the western pole of China, the last place where the sun resides on mainland China, and the village of the Kirgiz people. Muji crater, the full name is "Kaji Timir Volcano Group", known as "Pamir's Eye", there are dozens of scattered dormant craters, large and small, very spectacular, it was formed 1500 years ago , is the only crater with the highest altitude in Xinjiang and the most typical crater in the world.

Many people describe the Muji crater as a "phantom of ice and fire" because it is surrounded by plateau wetlands, forming glaciers, glacial lakes, ice caves and many other ice-related landscapes. The volcanoes and glaciers appear in the same place, which is really breathtaking.

Muji not only contrasts between volcanoes and glaciers, but also presents strong differences between day and night due to different scenery, impacting the vision of tourists. In the early morning, you will see the sunshine and golden mountains; in the evening, the sky and the river are intoxicating. The change of colors makes the world that belongs to you alone change. The golden sun shines on the white snow-capped mountains, the stars at night flicker in the black sky, the contrast between white and night, the snow-capped mountains, glaciers and stars. The impact has added a lot of mystery to Southern Border.

When viewing the crater landscape up close, pay attention to the wetlands to prevent slipping. Although it has been thousands of years since the last eruption of the volcano, due to its unique geology, the land around the crater is a little wet, so it is best to wear non-slip shoes.

The rocks around the crater show colorful colors, which are the traces of the volcano's burning and the presentation of a thousand-year history. When you take a photo of yourself and the crater with a drone, you will find its grandeur and the beauty of the surrounding scenery. It is always an undefined trip.
