Siling Lake

Siling Lake (Tibetan: སེར་གླིང་མཚོ, Wylie: ser gling mtsho, ZYPY: Sêling Co; Chinese: 色林错; pinyin: Sèlín cuò), (also known as Qilin or Selincuo) is a salt lake in the Tibet Autonomous Region, China to the north of Xainza. Doijiang is located near the lake. Administratively it belongs to Xainza County and Baingoin County of the Nagqu.

Bangecuo is another nearby salt lake[2] located east of Siling Lake,[3] around four miles away.

Overview

[edit]

The lake lies at an altitude of 4,530 metres (14,860 ft). It is a salt lake. It is fed by the rivers Za'gya Zangbo (or Tsagya Tsangpo) (扎加藏布) and the Boques Tsangpo (波曲藏布). With an area of 1,865 km2 (720 sq mi), Siling Co is the second largest saltwater lake in the northern Tibetan Plateau and forms part of the Siling Co National Nature Reserve (also Selincuo Reserve or Xainza Nature Reserve). The 400,000-hectare (990,000-acre) reserve was established in 1993 and contains significant populations of black-necked cranes and some 120 species of birds in total.[4][5] The lake only has a single species of fish, Gymnocypris selincuoensis, exploited by fishermen.[citation needed] The prairie on the banks of the lake is traditionally used as grazing land for yaks and sheep.

The temperature at the lake is an annual average of −3 to −0.6 °C (26.6 to 30.9 °F), the maximum annual temperature 9.4 °C (48.9 °F). The average rainfall is 290 mm (11 in) per year, 90 percent of which falls in the months of June to September, often in the summer as hail.
