Qinghai Lake
Qinghai Lake is the largest inland salt water lake with 105 kilometers in length and 63 kilometers in width. In Mongolian, it is named 'Koko Nor' meaning the green lake. Qinghai Lake, as a National Nature Reserve and a National Park, is rich in rare species of birds and fishes. The lake has a number of attractions that draw travellers in this region in. Ornithologists, campers, hikers, botanists, swimmers, sailors, fishermen, loners and nomads all find areas of interest around the lake. The beauty here lies in its salty vastness and the remote peace that it instills. The colours that can be found around the lake are of purity and contrasts, from the deep yellows of oil seed rape against the cold blues of the lake to the dark greens of distant mountains against the fluffy white of bilious clouds.
It has been added by the United Nations to The Ramsar Convention Manual and to The Convention on Wetlands of International Importance especially as Waterfowl Habitat. Niaodao, or Bird Island, where thousands of birds inhabit, lies in the northwest corner of Qinghai Lake. It is a heaven of the reproduction of Asian birds, and the top among the eight bird reserves in China.
