Ten major lakes in Xinjiang

The top ten lakes in Xinjiang are Karakuli Lake, Sailimu Lake, Tianshan Tianchi Lake, Kanas Lake, Bosten Lake, Swan Lake, Ebinur Lake, Aiding Lake, Baisha Lake and Yaze Lake.

1, Lake Karakuli is also a color-changing lake, which is its magic. It will change color with the brightness of light and the weather of the day, just like being enchanted, alternating between green, light yellow, blue and orange.

Sailimu Lake is an alpine lake, surrounded by mountains, with an average elevation of 2073 meters. After a long journey, the warm and humid air flow of the Atlantic Ocean can't cross the northern slope of Tianshan Mountain, so it can only wander here, and then it is influenced by the uplift of the terrain to form abundant precipitation and gather in this alpine basin. Therefore, Sailimu Lake is also called "the last tear of the Atlantic Ocean". Kanas Lake is located in Burqin County, Altay Prefecture, Xinjiang. It is an inland freshwater lake, surrounded by towering snow peaks, green hillsides and forests, with beautiful lakes and mountains.

3. Tianshan Tianchi Scenic Area is located in Fukang County, Changji Prefecture, and it is a natural scenic spot centered on alpine lakes. Bogda Peak in Tianshan Mountain is 5445 meters above sea level, with snow all year round and glaciers extending.

4. Kanas Lake Kanas Lake is hidden in the dense forest of Altay Mountain. This alpine lake is fascinated by mysterious monsters, changing lake colors and dazzling natural scenery. Looking down from the fish-watching platform on Camel Peak on the west bank of the lake, the whole Kanas Lake is crescent-shaped, forming three famous bays: Shenxian Bay, Moon Bay and Wolong Bay.

5. Bosten Lake is located in bohu county, southeast of Yanqi Basin, Bayinguoleng Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture. It belongs to a landslide lake, and its main recharge source is Kaidu River, which is also the source of Peacock River.

6. Swan Lake in Bayinbuluke is the only swan nature reserve in China, where the largest wild swan population lives in China. Swan Lake is a lake swamp composed of many interconnected small lakes. When the weather is clear, you can see white clouds reflected in large or small ponds. The swans here welcome tourists in various poses.

7. On the map, Ebinur Lake is a light blue on the southwest edge of Junggar Basin. As the largest saltwater lake in Xinjiang, Ebinur Lake is rich in water resources and surrounded by reeds, which provides a good habitat for many wild animals such as red deer, antelope, rabbits and wild ducks. In addition, forget-me-not, Senecio scandens, violets and other herbs and wild flowers grow by the lake, which is as beautiful as a fairyland.

8. Lake Aiding is the lowest lake in the interior of China. Looking from a distance, it is full of silvery white crystalline salt, which looks like a bright moon, hence the name Moonlight Lake. The outer ring of Aiding Lake is lake plain, the surface is hard saline-alkali land, the middle ring is salt swamp and the bottom is silt, so it is difficult for people to walk in except in winter.

9. Baisha Lake is magical and beautiful. Its magic lies in being in the vast desert, with no water inlet and no water outlet. The water level has not changed for many years.

10, Yaze Lake is located in Kanas Scenic Area, and it is named after many wild ducks in the lake. In summer, flocks of wild ducks and geese inhabit the lake area, which is very spectacular. Now, due to the change of river course, it has become a large swamp wetland, which is connected with a large valley grassland. Several leisurely cows on the grassland are swimming slowly for food, and the scenery is moving.

1 1. Xinjiang is located on the northwest border of China. It is an important passage of the ancient Silk Road and a corridor for the migration and integration of all ethnic groups. Known as "the hometown of melons and fruits" and "the hometown of singing and dancing". Xinjiang has the landform characteristics of "three mountains and two basins", with peculiar natural landscape, profound historical and cultural heritage, rich cultural relics and rich ethnic customs. The natural and human landscapes in the territory complement each other, and the magnificent Tianshan Mountain is listed as a world natural heritage. Cultural relics and historic sites such as Jiaohe Ancient Town, Gaochang Ancient Town and Qizil Thousand Buddha Cave on the ancient Silk Road are famous at home and abroad.
