3.Qinghai Lake, Qinghai

Covering an area of 4,583 sq km, Qinghai Lake is the largest inland and salt-water lake in China. It rests 4,500 meters above sea level on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, surrounded by four mountain ranges. The lake is known for its fascinating color changes, depending on the angle, time of day, and season it is viewed from. The colors range from light green, blue, green, and grey, to orange and yellow.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Qinghai Lake is a miracle that has been endowed by a deity. A diety who has decorated the water with many little islands.
