Karakul Lake Photo Spots | The Lonely Chair Life Snow Mountain Photo

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.
