Most people in China are of yellow ethnicity, but there is a white ethnic group in Ta County, Xinjiang.
There are beautiful women here in Ta County, all the girls are white-skinned and snowy, and everyone has big eyes and a high nose bridge.
But there is a rule that is very troublesome for many young people in the mainland: women are not allowed to marry foreigners, and many people come here every year to break this rule.
Why are women in Ta County not allowed to intermarry with foreigners? Has anyone broken this rule?
Reasons for not intermarrying with foreigners
There is a small city on the westernmost border of China, called Tashkurgan Tajik Autonomous County, referred to as Tajik County, is the only county town on the mainland bordering three countries, it is rich in beautiful women, inhabited by a large number of Taliq people, it is the only Caucasian ethnic group on the mainland, the nose bridge is very high, the eyes are big, blonde hair and blue eyes, and the children born are like dolls.
There was once a saying that has been circulating on the Internet for a long time: If you don't go to Xinjiang, you don't know how big China is. set off a wave of tourism, and there is also a saying in Xinjiang Dangli; If you don't go to Kashgar, you don't go to Xinjiang, and if you don't go to Ta County, you don't go to Kashgar, what kind of charm does Ta County hide, and a county town can make so many people fascinated.
Now with the change of people's aesthetic concepts, many Xinjiang stars are now on the stage, such as Di Lieba, Guli Nazha, standard big eyes, high nose bridge, three-dimensional facial features, so that many people have seen the beauties of Xinjiang, and now many people are fascinated by exotic customs.
And Taxian County here has the only Caucasian in China, and the beauty is like a cloud, the beauty here is like a blooming snow lotus, since childhood also has the tradition of being able to sing and dance, many people can't wait to set off after listening to half of the words, want to see the beauty, maybe you can also meet your own love.
But soon they were disappointed, the beauties here seem to be separated from foreign men, and they are always unable to go further, and some people find that the beauties here seem to be difficult to see in other places, and almost all women of this nation do not marry, what is the reason for this?
The entire Tajik ethnic group has lived at an altitude of 4,000 meters for generations, where the climate is harsh, the number of ethnic groups is small, the latest statistics are 50,000 people, and their ethnic groups also have a strong faith, in order to ensure the purity of the bloodline, they only intermarry with the people of their own clan, they believe that intermarriage within the clan is the key to maintaining the purity of the blood.
Moreover, for the Han people, the Tajik people have many different religious beliefs and living habits, and they are also very different from other races in terms of language and food culture, and this race lives at high altitudes all year round, and it has adapted to the environment here and suddenly has a lot of discomfort when it suddenly goes to other places.
In Xinjiang, where people eat meat as a staple food, the mainland only uses meat as a side dish, and the main staple foods are rice and noodles, so there may be some differences in diet, and there are cultural differences between the two places, after all, it is really difficult to change your decades-old habits for the sake of each other.
Some regulations and customs may be difficult for outsiders to accept, for example, the local people will find a role similar to a matchmaker to introduce the partner after reaching the age of marriage, at this time it is unimaginable, now society advocates free love, and the bride's veil is not allowed to be removed within three days after the two get married, and the matchmaker herself needs to take it down, these customs may still be a small problem.
The main thing is that it is forbidden to intermarry with foreigners within the clan, and this idea is slowly ingrained in the hearts of every Tajik because it has been passed down from generation to generation, and intermarriage with foreigners will definitely be opposed by the clansmen, so as to preserve the purity of the bloodline. There may also be intermarriages with foreigners, but very rarely.
Tajiks are best known not only for their beauties but also for their ethnic traditions, most of the border guards throughout the Pamir defense line are Tajiks, they have a long tradition of garrisoning, Tajik men, women and children will change into bright and dazzling national costumes after major festivals, sing and dance, drink wine, and share food.
The reason for coming to Ta County - the food scene
Speaking of food, everyone is no stranger to Xinjiang's food, like what big plate of chicken is now available all over the country, Xinjiang's barbecue, naan pit meat, pilaf, pot meat, naan meat, butter tea are all local characteristics of the food, as well as the best delicious oily meat noodles, I was fortunate to eat once and felt that any pasta is not fragrant, and the local specialties make people forget to return.
Two thousand years ago, Zhang Qian passed by here thousands of miles ago, Xuanzang walked through this place 1,400 years ago, in the long river of history, many cultures blended again to shape today's customs and customs, a stone city survived in thousands of years of wind and frost, this stone city is recorded to be established by the ancestors of the Tajik people in the Common Era, and is an important channel for cultural exchanges.
In addition to seeing the only Caucasian people in the mainland here, Taxian County also gathers several world-famous tall mountain ranges such as the Karakoram Mountains, the Hindu Kush Mountains and the Alai Mountains, known as the "ancestor of all mountains", and the Pamir Plateau, known as the "source of ten thousand waters", has given birth to a magical land and beautiful Tajik people.
Everyone who comes here will forget the identity, just as a spectator, only silently watching the magic of nature, just in this small city in Ta County, as if in a foreign country, the scenery of Ta County is so beautiful that it is breathtaking, there are snow-capped mountains, green grass, herds of cattle and sheep, there are also high mountains, mountains and rivers are intertwined, the vast Gobi, and the ancient road is long.
There are 12 8,000-meter-high peaks in the world, four of which are in Ta County, which is worthy of the name of the ancestor of ten thousand mountains, and the world's second highest peak, Chogoli Peak, is 8,611 meters above sea level, only 200 meters lower than Mount Everest, and Muztag Peak, which is known as the father of icebergs.
Hundreds of curves - Panlong Ancient Road
There is also the most healing and most exciting highway in China - Panlong Ancient Road, even people who have seen countless beautiful scenery come here will sigh that such a majestic scenery really exists? Everyone often uses the eighteen bends of the mountain road to describe the twists and turns of the road, and here the Panlong Ancient Road is more than 30 kilometers long, there are 639 curves, and it is the first bend in China.
Just after the asphalt pavement of this highway, netizens have posted videos of themselves walking through the Panlong Ancient Road on the video platform, which instantly aroused a large number of likes from netizens, and the comment area is asking whether there are really so many detours of the highway?
Located at an altitude of 4,100 meters above sea level on the Pamir Plateau, the Panlong Ancient Road is 75 kilometers long and famous for its many detours, from the air, a black road winds and twists over the mountain, like a black dragon entrenched here, its bends can reach up to 270 degrees.
Panlong Ancient Road, whether it is visual or driving feeling, is adrenaline surge, blood boiling, many people experience the only experience in this life, very healing, walking on the road is more like the road of life.
Panlong Ancient Road is divided into large Panlong and small Panlong, the first to enter is Dapanlong, the curvature of Dapanlong is very large, most of them can reach 180 degrees of bend, but it is not too dense, tourists who enter here must be prepared in advance, in case of motion sickness, these 639 detours are enough to make people dizzy, but don't worry too much, there are many viewing platforms along the way, you can stop and look at the scenery.
The most exciting is the small panlong, in this journey many times in a row, like a person's small intestines, to the end of everyone's thoughts and the slogan at the intersection: today has gone through all the detours of life, from now on life is a smooth road!
Although Taxian is the most frontier in China, it may take several days and nights to take a train from the mainland to the frontier, and the distance is far away, but it is definitely worth such a long distance, where you can see beautiful Tajik girls and handsome Tajik guys, and the Pamir Plateau where the Tajik people live is simply a masterpiece of nature's art.
When you come here, you can not only see the long-term snow-covered Karakoram Mountains, the majestic Muztagh Peak, as well as the calm and mirror-like Karakuli Lake, as well as the winding Panlong Ancient Road, but also feel the hospitality of the Tajik people, who have made this a tourist attraction, and the people here provide tourists with a tourist environment, and coming here will definitely give you a special experience.
