As temperatures drop across the Pamir Plateau, police officers in Wuqia County, Kizilsu Kirgiz Autonomous Prefecture, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, have stepped up efforts to safeguard local herders during their annual winter migration.

Operating at extreme altitudes of up to 4,500 meters, officers conducted trail scouting and route planning on rugged mountain paths, ensuring the livestock complete their seasonal move smoothly and safely.
