As the weather changes, sometimes the waves are empty, just like the raging sea, and sometimes they are sparkling and blue as water. In summer, the fishing boats in the lake are flying against the colorful clouds. In the golden autumn of October, the reeds are swaying gently, the reeds are golden, the autumn waters are dignified, and the geese are surprised to fly. Winter has come, thousands of miles are frozen, the lake is like a mirror, and it is a northland scenery. In addition to the charming scenery, Bosten Lake has beautiful legends. According to legend, a long time ago, there were no lakes here, only a prairie with beautiful scenery and abundant water plants. Pastoral herdsmen live and work in peace. There are two young lovers, the young man is Bosten and the girl is Goya. They love each other deeply. I don't know when, the rain god in the sky found the beautiful Kaya and wanted to marry her. Kaya vowed to die, the rain god was furious, the water did not fall for years, and there was a drought in the grassland. Brave Bosten fought with Rain God for 998 1 day, and finally let Rain God give in, but Bosten was exhausted because of fatigue. Kaya was in great pain, his tears turned into a big lake, and finally he died of grief and indignation. In memory of them, local herdsmen named the lake "Bosten Lake". Legend has it that Tang Priest was stuck in the quicksand river not far from here when he was trying to learn Buddhist scriptures in the West. The three princes of the Dragon King in the West Sea were moved by the actions of Tang Priest and others who suffered a lot and insisted on getting back the scriptures, so they were enlightened by Guanyin Bodhisattva and turned into a white horse, carrying Tang Priest and his party safely across the Liusha River.
