Pamir Skyroad Towards Afghan Wakhan Corridor 🇨🇳🇦🇫 I S2, EP89

I am leaving the Karakorum Highway to drive towards one of the most isolated countries, Afghanistan. Afghanistan shares a short border line with China in a region between Pamir and Hindu Kush mountains called the Wakhan Corridor. In the past the Wakhan Corridor was one of the major trade routes through central Asia connecting different cultures as early as Han Dynasty.
On my way I stopped by a Kyrgyz Village inside Wakhan Corridor who invited me to their home. I eventually reached the famous Pamir Skyroad which is one of the most curvy roads in the world, having 639 turns in only 30km.

Join me on this adventure to the renowned Wakhan Corridor 🎬

As an Afghanistan people I really surprised that who are living aside us and we don't know more about them what a nice people! I hope the border opens ASAP and ppl contact with each other easier. ❤😊

This little girl is the best! Never have I seen a documentary that plunges you directly amongst the people, their culture, cuisine, and traditions in a part of the world most of us don’t even know about. Thanks, Yan, you’re doing a wonderful job.

You are a brilliant filmmaker, thank you for showing us these beautiful people and their natural habitats. Have a safe trip, hugs from Brasil.

You are a very fortunate travel who found wonderful, friendly, mandarin speaking Chinese of Kyrgyz descendants. This video helps the outside world see the real people of Xinjiang.

Younger lady, your travels are amazing. Your connection with the locals is also amazing. You are one adventurous individual. Thanks so very much for your stunning videos.

What I am impressed is that despite the enormity of the ‘country’, diversity of language, culture, belief system…….. one common language in Mandarin to unite all…. there is reasonable wealth, standard of living and contentment in the people. I hope this harmony, happiness and general well being of the people will prevail like the days of Zhou or Tang Dynasty . Well done China.

Everywhere you go, everyone seems so nice and friendly. So awesome to see! Love these videos! Greetings from Houston Texas USA!

You show the world as it should be, friendly, happy, cooperative, kindness, enjoyable and so many beautiful different cultures and landscapes. A feeling of great warmth exudes from your videos and sometimes it is difficult not to cry because of the depth of emotion one feels while watching.

Really appreciate how much work goes into these videos! Thanks as always for sharing Yan!

I know that life in this region is probably hard and with many challenges and I am merely romanticizing, but I can't help but think that this place seems so dreamlike. Those final few minutes of those children running joyfully through the meadow with majestic peaks in the background... it feels so far away and unlike the world I live in. Beautiful video thank you for sharing.

The Afghans are very motivated and willing to create the road to the China border. At the moment they have the dirt road but need a bit more time to do the paving. The border is still closed but it’s so great to know that the Chinese part exists and that you have explored it!

Good morning Yan, Oh my goodness the Silk road, as soon as I saw the road I new how a lot of different customs entered Europe, through Pamir Sky road Towards Afghan Wakhan Corridor 🇨🇳🇦🇫 I S2, EP89, You lifted your Head & drove like the Golden Eagle soring high through different rugged terrane, though beautiful valleys to high Plateau fields to sharp rugged mountain peaks, then you came to that transverse angular road with every twisted corner of the road dropping down after 6o Kilometres , I will say what a master piece of a road , I have only seen a similar road in southern Albania but not as long, wow that sure is a great piece of Road Making, I take my hat off to the Engineers to had designed it, once again Yan, you have produced a formattable Video, fantastic, thank you again, keep up your good work Regards Trevor.W.Bacelli.

I love how you connect with people, especially children. Loved the dance part. The landscape is breathtaking.

Thanks dear Yan for this brave journey in XinJiang to Afghan border and crossing the curvy hairpin skyway road. The scenery is beautiful, the cozy local traditional hotels are very friendly. You were invited by the tea house owner who recognized you, to their beautiful house and danced with the kind family and two little sons. Wishing you a safe return to Tashkurgan passing the pretty green grassland. God bless and keep you throughout the travel. ❤🙏🌻🌺🌞❣️

I saw your videos at random and now I cannot get enough of it and has been binge watching for the last 3 days. Your videos are so amazing and provide realistic insights to China and all its unseen beauty. I am so amazed that most of the roads are well-built even on far-flung villages. It's so awesome to see people living so happily in their meager and simple state.

[kickapootrackers]

The family before the curvy road were most excellent hosts. You all were, tya kindly.
Take care my friend 🙏🏞️👍

[pfv]

This region should crown as the happiest moment in time!

[dubz]

You go everywhere I’ve ever wanted to see in person. This is awesome!

[kmhoh]

Amazed at the standard of living in one of the remotest region of China/Xinjiang. So good of you to bring real images and experiences.
