[citation needed] Lake Zhasylkol is located on the Northern slope of the Dzungarian Alatau ridge in the valley of the Agynykatty river at an altitude of 1640 meters above sea level.

The color of the lake's water depends not only on snowmelt, but also on the time of day and weather.

The Kora river originates from the meltwater of the Satpayev glacier, which ends in the South with the Kara-Choki pass, along which the state border between Kazakhstan and the Republic of China runs in the latitudinal direction.

On the shores of the lake, deciduous groves have grown, which acquire a special beauty in autumn.

Until the 1980s, almost no human set foot here, which is not surprising, because the state border between China and Kazakhstan passes here.
