Have you ever gone to a place because of a single photo❓
Perhaps Karakul Lake in Southern Xinjiang is such a place.
.
📌
If your schedule allows,
please stay until sunset in the afternoon🌇. Because you will get:
✔️ Front lighting with a vast snow mountain background;
✔️ Sunset with golden sunlight on the mountains.
.
📍 Karakul Lake, Southern Xinjiang
🅿️ You can drive into the scenic area, which is convenient.
📸 Photo spots
This area is not crowded; when we came, there were only a few of us.
❶ Snow Mountain Road Spot
There is basically no traffic; you can capture the road, big mountains, and the feeling of snow mountains right in front of you.
❷ Mustagh Peak Background (Grass Pad) Spot
It looks like an S-curve, with a protruding grass pad extending into the lake. This is a popular spot for many wedding photos.
❸ Mustagh Peak Background (Rocks) Spot
There are some small stone piles; you can sit directly on them to shoot, with the Mustagh Peak snow mountain range as the background! Perfect for telephoto lenses!
❹ The Lonely Bench
This bench is incredibly photogenic!! Facing the snow mountains directly! One person can create a sense of loneliness, two people can capture a romantic vibe.
❺ High Spot
This is at the stone piles near the signboard at the Buzhou Mountain Camp, giving a bit of a "standing out in the dry land" vibe.
