It’s surely a high altitude border crossing.

Can it really be so busy?

 

Biger’s encyclopaedia reports that China only got aware of this border in 1963, how odd that may sound.

China and Afghanistan share a relatively small common border.  Has
anyone seen a picture of the border crossing?  Just after the U.S.
went into Afghanistan I saw a brief news item saying the border had
been "temporarily" closed, but I've never seen a picture of the actual
crossing.
