Qinghai Lake

　　Qinghai Lake is called Kuku Nuo’er in Mongolian and Cuowenbu in Tibetan, which means blue lake. Qinghai Province also got the name from the lake. In the lake, there is a special kind of “Huang”fish. In order to adjust to the environment, the fish takes off its squama and looks like carp with black dots on its back.

　　Qinghai Lake is on the northeast of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The lake is surrounded by four lofty mountains, with Datong Mountain on its north, Riyue Mountain on its east, Qinghainan Mountain on the south and Xiangpi Mountain on the west. The altitude of these four mountains is from 3600km to 5000km. These four mountains like four barriers carrying Qinghai Lake in their arms. From the root of mountain to the Lake, there is vast and flat grassland. The green and wavy lake is similar to a grand jade lying between mountains and grassland.
