Datong Township

Datong Township is located in the valley in the hinterland of the Pamirs. The canyon is deep, the folk customs are simple, the village houses are neat, and chickens and dogs can hear each other. It is like a paradise. In spring, if you stand high on the mountain road, you can see the pink apricot flowers blooming in the village from a distance, surrounding the front and back of the house.

Kukesiluge Township

Kukesiluge Township is located in the lower reaches of the Taxkulgan River, 80 kilometers away from the county seat and connected to the Taltajik Township in Akto County. Here in spring, dark pink and light pink apricot blossoms contrast with the snow-capped mountains in the distance. Leisurely yaks and sheep roam under the apricot blossom trees. The creek next to the asphalt road flows quietly, and the petals falling on the water carry flowers. The breath of spring drifts into the distance. Warm reminder

According to the flowering period in previous years, the peak flowering period of Ta County apricot flowers is about the end of March, about 5-7 days. The flowering period fluctuates slightly every year, so please continue to pay attention to the flowering period forecast;
