[size=2][font=arial]Karakuli Lake is 3,600 meters above sea level, at the foot of the Maztagata Mountain, some 190 kilometers from Kashgar and about 1,500 kilometers from Urumqi, capital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Karakuli means” black sea” in the local dialect, and resembles a glittering pearl embedded among the alpine peaks, reflecting the surrounding snow-capped mountains. [/font][/size] [font=arial][size=2] [/size][/font] [size=2][font=arial]It is an unspoiled natural paradise with breath-taking natural scenery. The crystal water reflecting the surrounding mountains, peaks and blue sky and clouds is stunningly beautiful. Over the years this has become one of the best destinations for horse-back trekking and mountain climbing. A leisurely walk along the lake is also refreshing and pleasant. There are a few villages nearby. The local Kiegiz people are friendly and hospitable. [/font][/size] [size=2][font=arial][/font][/size]  [size=2][font=arial][/font][/size]
