This photo is perhaps of a place that I have been to in Washington State. However, since it was taken in China, I am going to say that this is Samyram lake located in the Tianshan mountains of Xinjiang province. More information on Samyram Lake (also called 'Santai Haizi') can be found @

From the photo, I guess that it must be an alpine lake. Usually, these lakes are located in Xinjiang. Maybe it is Bosten Lake.

No, my guess is Tianchi, the Heavenly Lake, amidst Tianshan ranges, in the Xinjiang Ugyur Autonomous Region

=> http://www.travelchinaguide.com/attraction/xinjiang/urumqi/tianchi.htm

Though I have just visited not too long ago those various lakes in Xinjiang, it's not easy to tell because views vary a good deal at the mercy of the weather on a particular day.... My guess is based on the blueness of the waters, some alpine vegetations and the closeness of the snow mountains to the water level. Unfortunately I still cannot retrieve my photos taken in my last trip in a dead harddisk, so cant show my pictures of Tianchi...

I agree with FAERIEQUEENE since Tianchi is the most popular lake of Xinjiang. LOL
