0 Comment(s)Print E-mail People's Daily, October 11, 2012

Known as the last drop of tears of the Atlantic, Sayram Lake is located about 90 kilometers southwest of Botala Prefecture, Urumqi, north China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. It is also known as a pearl of the Silk Road. In Mongolian language, the name of the lake means 'a lake on the ridge'. In Kazak, sayram means 'blessing'. The lake is an amazing natural water resource which is circled by green grasslands. The water in the lake is very pure and clear. Flocks of ducks and swans coast on its surface.
