Karakul Lake║A blue lake under the Muztagh Glacier.

One of the must-see attractions in Xinjiang is Karakul Lake! My feeling is just two words: shock❗️ Lake - Glacier - Mountain The magic of nature! 🏞️Karakul Lake - the oldest and highest lake on the Pamir Plateau, is a typical plateau lake, known as the "Color-changing Lake", the color of the lake changes with the season and time, from blue to black. 📷Photo lovers are in luck, every frame is a new surprise! 📖The legendary Karakul Lake is not only beautiful, but also has a thousand-year-old legend of a "water monster"! 🐉It is said that the Tang Dynasty monk Xuanzang once saw a giant dragon in the "Great Dragon Pool" here, which still adds a touch of mystery to this day! 🏔️And its background is the Muztagh Peak 7509, known as the father of icebergs, a famous climbing place, majestic and solemn, holy and elegant, regarded by the local people as a symbol of pure love. 📍 Location: Navigate to "Karakul Lake Scenic Area", next to National Highway 314, passing by White Sand Lake, 200 km from Kashgar, about 4 hours by car 🎫Ticket: 45|person ⏰10:00-20:00 open ⚠️Notes: ☀️Sun protection: strong UV rays in the plateau area, be sure to take sun protection measures 🦟Mosquito repellent: there are more mosquitoes around the lake, it is recommended to bring mosquito repellent products 💤Rest: high altitude, it is recommended to take more rest, avoid strenuous exercise 🚧Safety: the railings in the scenic area may be loose, be sure to avoid climbing ♻️Environmental protection: please protect the environment and animals, respect the local culture 🚗 Transportation: most of the time in Xinjiang is spent on the road, avoid fatigue driving, it is recommended to join a group tour, which is more worry-free, a small group is a good choice, you can stop and go for a semi-free trip. 🏠Accommodation: flexible arrangement according to the itinerary, you can continue to Tashkurgan County for accommodation (border pass is required)
