"Do you know the world?" --Competition--

[toxicboy]

Kyrgyzstan? But people are more tanned... maybe not.
Tajikistan? Where people are more pan-asian looking (though the lady in the picture is a tad too fair... seems closer to Soviet Union)

 

[bruggink]

Merv, Turkmenistan?

 

[LAZyNPL]

Not at Mustagh Ata, note it's a historical town; not just in the wilderness.
The lady is also not an Uzbek.

Even though it is not in Mustagh Ata, but traveller who made all the way to M/A will most likely visit the mysterious town as well.

 

[ZerocoolAstra]

seems like the town of Tashkurgan was a pretty prominent location along the Silk Road in its history, so that's my guess...

Wikipedia on Tashkurgan


add on:
THIS person's photos show pretty similar terrain, though it could be similar throughout this region

Haha, finally you found a right source of info!
Yes, the farmland is taken from top the ruins of fortress in Taxkorgan aka Tushkurgen; the principal town and seat of Tashkurgan Tajik Autonomous County, Xinjiang, China.

However, the link of photos u found is mainly taken around the foot of Mt Mustagh and the Karakul Lake; along the Karakorum Highway; before reaching Taxkorgan.

Taxkorgan is a small, harmony and also the west-most town of China. Different ethnic groups can be seen everywhere in town due to the multi-neighbour border.

My Karakoram trail (and the other part of Xinjiang) proved to be one of the most unforgettable travel experience I ever had. As it is not appropriate to flood this thread with my own photos, I will take my sharing in another thread.


Now, ZerocoolAstra; your turn!!!

:vhappy:
wah! Such a lucky guess! Your clues really helped, and I learned something.

Anyway since I am unable to link to any of my photo galleries due to current internet restrictions, it would be best to forfeit my turn and let you nominate someone else or post another photo, so as to keep this competition going without undue delay

 

[LAZyNPL]

Then I let the honor to Daredevil123 to post new photo, as he is the 2nd closest guess.

Two martial arts TV series were filmed there... one has something to do with birds, and one has something to do with laughing.

Yup! The place is called "穿岩十九峰景区", Xinchang town, under Shaoxing city, Zhejiang Province.

It was filming location for 笑傲江湖 and 射雕英雄传.
