Zhu Yi, the person in charge of the tent camp, said that more than 10 travel agencies have recently contacted and cooperated with them, all of them come to enjoy the apricot blossoms and experience the tranquility and mystery of the valley.
Zhou Hao, a member of the party group and deputy director of the Ta County Cultural Tourism Bureau, told Chinanews.com that the apricot blooming period in the Pamirs will be extended to early May.
He said that the valley is very long, and due to the difference in altitude, the local climate of the valley is different, and the apricot blossoms also bloom in cascades.
From late April to early May, the apricot trees in Malyang Township, which is above 3700 meters above sea level, will also enter the blooming period of apricot blossoms.
