- Notes on location estimate
- The exact location can be found in this YouTube vlog made by a group of Chinese cyclists in 2020:
- Timestamp 2:19
- Observe that in the photograph, the slope on the left has a bump 10-20 meters from the bottom. This is visible in the video at aforementioned timestamp.
- In their previous vlog, the cyclists stayed at Mazar village (麻扎; Mazha) south of Mazar Pass and is traveling to Xaidulla (賽圖拉/赛图拉; Saitula).
- The next landmark along the cyclists' journey that can be geographically identified "272道班" signage at timestamp 3:44. Signage means "The 272 Highway Maintenance Crew", where 272 is the kilometre marker along the G129 highway.
- According to this blog, Mazar village is located at kilometre mark 241.
- Thus this location must be located between 0 and 31 kilometres east of Mazar village.
- Geographic features can be aligned in Google Earth
- See this image for sketch
- Photo has the appearance of a narrow defile
- The highway (G219) run along on the left side of the view
- Brush in the foreground with stream of water joining the river
- River was misidentified as Karakash River. Based on location estimate, the river is Yarkand River.
