Ticket checking at the entrance was a bit lax, and the standards for full-price and half-price tickets seemed to vary. However, the lake view was beautiful, and the experience was wonderful, with some satisfying horseback riding photos. I passed by again during the day and was again struck by the beauty. It's definitely worth a visit.

We first went to Baisha Lake, which was pretty average. Due to time constraints, we hadn&#39;t planned to go to Karakul, but once we finally got there, we were blown away! The scenic area isn&#39;t huge; it&#39;s just a parking lot, and you pay for it. But seeing Muztagh Ata was incredibly exciting and enjoyable. The weather wasn&#39;t great that day, with a sandstorm, but there weren&#39;t any here, and it wasn&#39;t crowded either. The overall experience was fantastic, and I&#39;ll definitely be back!

Karakul Lake means &quot;Black Lake&quot; in Uyghur. It gets its name from the fact that its waters, located on the Pamir Plateau, appear dark and inky when bathed in sunlight.

Karakul Lake is surrounded by Muztagh Ata, Kongur Peak, and Kongur Jiubie Peak. The towering mountain ridges and blue skies and white clouds are reflected in the clear waters, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scenery that makes for exceptional photographs.

The alpine lake at an altitude of 3,600 meters is deep and blue. The reflection of Muztagh Ata on the opposite bank is very beautiful in the lake. The blue sky and white clouds are just a little low, and the peaks of the snow-capped mountains are blocked a lot.
There is a long plank road on the shore, and you can also ride camels and horses to take pictures. If the weather is good, it is very photogenic. The 45 ticket is a bit expensive, after all, the scenic area is not big, but when you see the snow-capped mountains and lakes with your own eyes, you will feel refreshed and it is worth seeing!

Karakul Lake is the highest lake in Xinjiang. Karakul means black and Kule means lake. Together, they are called the Black Lake. It is 3,560 meters above sea level. Because its water changes color with the seasons and time, it is also called the &quot;color-changing lake&quot;. Karakul Lake is a plateau lake. The &quot;Father of Icebergs&quot; Muztagh Ata is reflected on the surface of Karakul Lake. The beautiful scenery is on the road!
