It covers an area of 67 kilometers, 10 times that of Ningxi Provence, and is the largest desert freshwater lake in China. It was formed 70 years ago, vast in area and abundant in water. Sceneries of the lake change with the shift of the seasons, bewitchingly charming. The scenery in each season has its own characteristics. The famous poet Fan Zhongyan wrote in his poem: “in the amiable spring, the lake water is peaceful; thousands of hectares of green water expands endlessly to the sky; sand gulls freely fly in the sky, colorful fish swims in the water...when the mist over the lake has all lifted, a bright moon appear in the sky, shining on the lake, making the water sparkled a golden color, leaving quiet shadow.” The poem made a vivid and thorough description of the lake scenery.
