Southern Xinjiang, has always been full of mysterious color of the place, special geographical location and rich national customs, endowing the southern Xinjiang with unlimited tourism resources, so that those who have not been to infinite yearning, so that those who have been to forget to return, endless aftertaste. This shanghai to shenzhen autumn and winter, I came to southern Xinjiang twice, experienced and deeply visited this magical land. It is said that southern Xinjiang mainly depends on amorous feelings, but I met a lot of amazing natural scenery there.
Kerakule Lake, a trip to southern Xinjiang in November, impressed me deeply. Karakul Lake is located at the foot of Mushtag Peak and Gonger Peak in Bengkou Township, Keitao County, Kizilesu Kirgiz Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang, about 160 kilometers from the county seat. It is on the roadside of 314 National Highway (CMB Highway). It is a primitive and beautiful plateau lake.
Lake Kerakul is located on the Pamir Plateau 3600 meters above sea level. The total area of the lake is 10 square kilometers, which is very different from the surrounding lake. The lake is dark in color. The name of the lake is "Kerakul", which means "black lake" and has a mysterious color in the area.
The four seasons of the Carla Culler Lake are different. In summer, the water weeds in the summer are abundant, the water birds swim, the surface of the lake is bright, the light is overflowing, the snow and snow cover in the winter, the people's trace to, the ice lake, the snow peak, the scenery is extremely beautiful.
Karakule Lake, located on the edge of Xinjiang 314 National Highway, is the only way for Kashgar to travel to and from the Pamir Plateau, so it has also become a popular tourist attraction along the way. The tourists will stop here and get off and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the lake area.
The Mysterious Kerala Lake is surrounded by mountains, with a few snow-covered peaks around the lake, the east of which is the father of the glacier, the Mashtaigu, and the west is a continuous, salbroad range, like a group of powerful young people around the gentle and beautiful girl, The dance of the song, accompanied by the thousands of thousands of years.
In the winter of the silver-filled summer, though it is difficult to find the dream of the summer high-altitude grassland, it is an atmosphere of cold, desolate, and cool. In the high-altitude land of the color, the corner of the front mountain is weakened, the lake's appearance is covered, and the landscape of the nature at the moment is more powerful and awe-inspiring.
The lake's lake is amazing, and as the weather changes and the light is different, the color of the lake in the day is changing and confusing. It is said that when the sun is sunny in the summer, the lake of the Karakulle, such as the emerald, the water-like mirror, and the surrounding grassland, and the cattle and sheep make up a picture of a picturesque paradise.
And whenever there are dark clouds and shanghai to shenzhen flights thunder, Lake Kerakule will show black and bright colors, and the whole lake will suddenly become like a black water lake filled with lead. It is very illusory, and it is like a scene in a science fiction movie.
Kerakule Lake not only has a beautiful lake and mountain color, but also legend of water monsters in the lake, adding endless mystery color. With regard to the reasons for the discoloration of Karakule Lake, there are such legends: Fu Xian, a senior monk in Jin Dynasty, and Song Yun, a monk in the Northern Wei Dynasty, both call Karakule Lake a "poisonous dragon pool." there is a poisonous dragon water monster in the lake that does evil all the year round and harms the world. Xuanzang, a monk in Tang Dynasty, passed by, saying that the lake was haunted by dragons and called it "Dalong Pool."
Many folklore now sounds like folk stories with no scientific basis. But because of these folklore, this "discoloration lake" is also covered with a mysterious veil, so that people have unlimited reverie. Many people come to Pamir for this purpose to try to unravel the cause of the Lake of discoloration, but I don't think the result is important, and the process adds endless pleasure. Isn't that what travel is all about?
