Qiaomila

　　Qiaomila is situated at the intersection of the Duku Highway, which crosses the Tianshan Mountains, and the Yiqiao Highway. From this point onward, you truly enter the stunning mountainous interior of the Tianshan. Located in the upper reaches of the Kash River, the area features towering peaks, long and narrow river valleys, misty surroundings, and serene landscapes. Even the greenery seems hidden, giving the place a mysterious and somewhat untouchable beauty. The snowline appears unusually low, almost within reach. This is also a major glacial region, with various types of glaciers scattered throughout the valleys—valley glaciers, hanging glaciers, plateau glaciers, and dendritic glaciers. There is also a type known as "dead ice," which ranges from the size of a room to that of a bucket. Unlike other glaciers that can melt and flow, these are remnants of glacial retreat, considered a “stubbornly unmelting” kind.
