Sumgal

Sumgal (literally, "three fords," in Uyghur language) is a historical ford and horse-changing station on the right bank of the Karakash River just before it enters the Aksai Chin plateau in the western Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (formerly, Chinese Turkestan) of the People's Republic of China. It is on the southwest side of the Kunlun Mountains and downstream from the now-deserted town of Kangxiwar, formerly Kengshewar, (36° 11' 58 N, 78° 46' 50 E) on the Karakash River
