Where is Chenghai Lake in Yunnan?

Cheng Hai is in the middle of Yongsheng County, Yunnan Province.

The northern valley of Chenghai is the core area of Yongsheng County's economic development. As early as the Ming and Qing Dynasties, lake water was used for irrigation, and tobacco, agriculture, forestry and fruit industries flourished. Chenghai is also one of the three lakes where cyanobacteria (spirulina) naturally grow in the world, and it is the largest spirulina breeding and production base in the world. Chenghai is located in the middle of Yongsheng County, Yunnan Province, with a total area of 78.8 square kilometers and a total volume of 2.7 billion cubic meters.

Chenghai Lake is located at the bottom of the basin formed by Chenghai fault zone. In ancient times, it was Hecheng River, a tributary of Jinsha River, and then fell into the lake. Lake water mainly comes from mountain springs around the basin. The lake initially flows into the Jinsha River (Haihe River and Aqin River) in the lower reaches of Hecheng River through the southern hukou. In modern times, due to the changes of hydrology and climate, the lake water generally stopped leaking and became an inland lake.
