"This lake comes from geysers that melt from Mount Tianshan to the Kaidu River, then flows to Lake Bosten, where the climate is tropical continental, the lake is surrounded by mountains, tourists can enjoy the lake and mountain scenery," our guide said.

According to the guide, this lake has been known since the time of the Song Dynasty. In the past, people thought this was the ocean. Hence the Chinese name is Xi Hai which means Sea in the West Region. Bosten is from Mongol languages

The lake is close to the Taklamakan Desert and the dry Gobi Desert. So the existence of water becomes very important.
