🏜️10,000 kilometers for Coiling DragonAncient Road!

“I’ve walked through all the twists and turns of life, and now the road ahead is smooth.”

Inspired by this quote, I traveled thousands of miles this July to experience this breathtaking place.

Over 3 days, I drove the route back and forth three times, just to see how the Panlong Ancient Road transforms at different times of the day—morning, noon, and night. Each time brought unexpected surprises, leaving me in awe and deeply soothed ❤️‍🩹

🚗 Getting There:

Head to Tashkurgan, and drive about 20 km towards the Khunjerab Pass. You’ll spot a winding road that twists down like a mighty dragon. From above, it looks like a black dragon coiling through the mountains—absolutely stunning!

📷 Photography Tips:

Start at 9 AM; the midday sunlight brightens the valley, making the mountain colors vivid and vibrant.

In the evening, during the blue hour, find a high vantage point to capture light trails along the Panlong Ancient Road—it’s a showstopper!

Timeshifter is one of my all time favs. It tells you when to and when not to drink coffee, go to bed, nap, expose yourself to sunlight for the few days leading up to your trip and the first few days of your trip. It really eliminates that groggy feeling you get when you land in a new time zone.
