What is the altitude of Tianchi Lake in Qinghai?

1. The average elevation of Tianchi Lake in Qinghai is more than 2,500 meters.

Second, the introduction:

Mengda Tianchi was established in the east of Xunhua Sala Autonomous County in Qinghai 1980, and was approved as a national nature reserve in April 2000. Known as "Xishuangbanna on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau", it is a summer resort, recuperation and tourist resort in Qinghai Province.

Covering an area of 9544 hectares, it is a water conservation forest of forest ecosystem. Mengda Tianchi covers an area of about 300 mu. The water in the pool is crystal clear, which is in harmony with the blue sky, and the peaks and peaks reflect with the waves. Waterbirds are flying in the lake, and fish Shu Ran is swimming.

Third, the natural environment:

The reserve is located in the transition zone from the Loess Plateau to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and its geological structure belongs to the Kajin-Dangrui Wutai uplift belt in A Qin. The landform is loess hills, which are cut and broken, and the slopes are narrow and V-shaped. Because the peaks around the reserve are protruding, the invasion of dry and cold air flow is weakened, and it faces the southeast air flow. The climate in this area is mild and rainy. The average annual temperature is 5.4 degrees Celsius. The relative height difference of the terrain makes the climate warm, warm and cold. The annual precipitation is 622.7mm, and the precipitation from May to September accounts for 89% of the annual precipitation.

There are five rivers in this area, which flow into the Yellow River from south to north. There is a natural lake in the middle of Muchanggou-Tianchi Lake in Mengda, covering an area of nearly 20 hectares, with an average depth of 10 meter and a storage capacity of 2-3 million cubic meters. To the east of Tianchi, there is a north-south "natural dam", which is more than 200 meters long and 50-70 meters above the water surface. The dam is the last moraine formed after the glacier retreated. In the southeast of Tianchi, there is a fan-shaped waterfall, which is more than 10 meters high and 7-8 meters wide. It is abundant in summer and becomes an ice waterfall in winter.

Tianchi in Mengda is much smaller than Tianchi in Changbai Mountain and Tianchi on the mountainside of Tianshan Mountain. But it has its own characteristics. Tianchi Lake in Changbai Mountain is surrounded by several peaks that are almost barren. There is dense snow spruce forest in the distance outside Tianchi Lake in Tianshan Mountain, but Tianchi Lake in Mengda is surrounded by very dense forest, covering from the pool to the top of the mountain. The water in the pool is different. The water in Tianchi Lake in Changbai Mountain is the most beautiful, with all kinds of blue colors and patterns constantly changing with the movement of clouds in the sky. Tianchi in Tianshan Mountain is a kind of blue; The water in Tianchi, Mengda is green, almost the same color as the surrounding forest.
