Karakul Lake

Service, basically no, a smell of sheep dung, the scenery is good, the lake reflected the Gonggel Jiube Peak and the Mousstag Peak, very majestic, but unfortunately the sun reflected that day, can not shoot a good feeling

Be sure to go when the weather is good, and the photo is invincible. If the weather is not good, you can wait for the return trip. Anyway, the attraction is on the must-pass road in Kashgar County, and there is no detour at all.

The continuous snowy mountains, the calm lake, make people intoxicated... The altitude is slightly higher, as long as the action is not strong, the temperature is low, and you have to wear a thick coat. When I was shivering in my shawl, a big sister asked me if I could take off and borrow her to take pictures. There were too many mosquitoes by the lake. It was recommended to be fully armed.

Lake Karakuri, the lake is not very big, the deepest is only 30 meters, a lake that should have been unremarkable, but is famous for the snowy mountains around the world. The "father of the iceberg" Moustag peak has not to say much, and the other two snow-capped mountains are also very popular: Gonggeer Peak & Gonggeer Jiube Peak, the first peak and the second peak of the Kunlun Mountains respectively. The highest altitude is 7,649 meters, in a pyramid shape, no one has climbed to the top for more than 40 years (only one person before). People say that Lake Karakuri is the mirror of these snow-capped mountains, especially clear and bright, and the color is particularly deep, locals call it the "Black Sea."

Karakule Lake is 3,600 meters above sea level, an area of 10 square kilometers, and the water depth is more than 30 meters, not very big. If it weren't for the tall Gonggel Peak, Gonggel Jiube Peak and Mustag Peak, next to the lake, Karakule Lake is not so colorful. However, with the mountains is different, around the lake to enjoy the great scenery of the Pamir plateau. The blue ridge reflects on the more blue water, the lake and the mountains, quite a bit of a wonderful reverie.

Blue sky, white clouds, snow mountains, lakes..., dreamy scenery, intoxicating! Thanks to nature for the gift, I was really lucky to meet such a good weather. Opposite is the Moustag Peak, worthy of being the "father of icebergs", the body is white, the snow plus the glacier, the cover is very heavy. The silvery figure, reflected in the blue lake water, stood by the lake, looking at such a beautiful scenery, feeling the heart is melting.

Karakule Lake is about 200 kilometers away from Kashgar. It will pass the Baisha Lake scenic spot along the way, and then reach Lake Krakule, about 4 hours drive. Lake Krakule is an alpine lake, with an average altitude of about 4,000 meters. The lake can overlook the Moustag Peak. The lake is clear, and the snow-capped mountains are very beautiful under the sun. Be sure to go on a sunny day, and the scenery will be greatly discounted if the weather is not good. The scenic spot is now well repaired. There is a wooden plank road by the lake, and the two sides of the plank road are a good place to film. You can ride horses and ride camels by the lake to take pictures. 30 yuan per person, bargaining depends on the personal level. Horse riding seems to be 50 yuan, distance and time can be talked about. As long as you don't do strenuous exercise, the scenic spot will basically not have altitude sickness, pay attention to sun protection and drink more water. There are light meals, instant noodles and so on near the parking lot.
