Based on the MODIS10A2 snow product data from 2001 to 2019, the characteristics of annual variation, interannual variation and spatial distribution of snow cover in China Pakistan Economic Corridor from 2001 to 2019 are analyzed by using remote sensing technology. The result shows that: the snow-cover in a year generally starts from the middle of October, and the snow cover area reaches the maximum value in January of the next year, and reaches the minimum value in July. From 2001 to 2019, the snow area of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor generally showed a decreasing trend. The distribution of snow in the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor is extremely uneven. The northern area is obviously more than that in the south. The mountainous and plateau areas are with high frequency of snow cover, and the plains are areas with low frequency of snow-cover. Permanent snow-cover is relatively low. Few, mainly concentrated in the Karakoram Mountains, in terms of distribution range, mainly distributed in 4452-8378 m.
