See a photo of Karakul Lake in Xinjiang Province. Located in China's Xinjiang region, Lake Karakul (3,600 meters) is renowned as a high-altitude "color-changing" lake, famous for its sparkling waters that shift from deep black to azure blue. It is known for its breathtaking reflections of three 7,000-meter-plus snow-capped peaks - Muztagh Ata, Kongur Tagh, and Kongur Tiube - on the Karakoram Highway.
