The photos show the reconstructed remains of an 8-11th century settlement in the Kegeti Valley. This is the ancient (Sogdian) citadel of Balasagun. Named as the good town by Gengis Khan because it openned its gates to him. The tower was originally twice the height.
The lake scene is from the south and is a dry stony shore somewhat like the Red Sea
