Located in Burerjin County of Aletai area in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Hanasi Lake in the Mongolian language means a beautiful, rich and mysterious place.
Hanasi Lake is a reservoir formed by violent movements of ancient glaciers which blocked the outlet of the valley. Covering an area of 45.73 square meters and with an elevation of 1300 meters, the Lake is 24 kilometers long, 1.9 kilometers wide and 90 meters deep on an average.
Hanasi Lake is well-known for its color variations: dark green alternating with azure, grey or milky white. The water temperature is also very changeable: at noon in July about 20 degrees centigrade, fit for swimming, but at dusk a drastic drop to icy-cold.
As one of China nature preservation zone, Hanasi Lake abounds in fresh-water fish such as tremendous Zheluo salmon, thin-scaled salmon, North-pole hui-fish and cod, which, from time to time, jump out of water stirring spells of ripples.
As the only habitat of animals and plants of Palaeozoic Erathem, the biocommunity in Hanasi Lake preservation zone still maintains primeval condition and has about 300 species of precious plants and a dozen of rare animals.
