Tashkorgan by automidori
Tashkorgan or Tashkurgan means Stone Fortress, Stone Castle. Tashkorgan had served a long history as a major stop along the Silk Road. Ruins of the remaining stone fortress is in the middle left of this picture. The scenery and atmosphere of the grassland below the fortress was nothing but breathtaking.

Karakul is surrounded by mountains that are snow-capped all year long. Thus, Karakul actually lies beneath a giant valley. However, Karakul is the highest lake on Pamir Plateau. Karakul is at 3600 m altitude.

We Are Nothing by automidori
Compared to Karakul which depth reaches 242 m and the surface stretches up to 4.8 km2, let alone the surrounding grassland, we, human-beings become so small.

Bulungkol Lake by automidori
In Uyghur, "Bulungkol" means "Corner Lake". If you cross Karakoram Highway from Kashgar, you'll meet this lake first before you meet the famous Karakul Lake. Although not as wide and as deep as Karakul, Bulungkol is as worthwhile to pay a visit.
