Crescent Lake, China


Recommended Posts

In Gansu province in northwest China, a natural crescent-shaped oasis appears out of the emptiness of the Gobi Desert. The once 5m-deep lake was recently in danger of disappearing, shrinking to less than 1m deep, until 2006 when the government stepped in to keep the lake full by building nearby reservoirs to keep the water table of the area higher and forbidding citizens from building any new wells or farmland. On the lakeshore, a Buddhist shrine seems to rise with the rolling white Singing Sands dunes behind it, along with a lush patch of green shrubs and trees.
