Waiting for the sunrise at Juyanhai is truly wonderful

Juyanhai is the terminal lake of China's second largest inland river, the Heihe River, and was one of the largest lakes in the northwest in prehistoric times, as well as one of the four great desert lakes in China. Water birds and reed marshes are its two treasures, with the lake's clear waves rippling and the heavy reed flowers in the vast reed marshes bending the branches and swaying in the wind. Various water birds inhabit here, and the Juyanhai wetland is an important passage on the migratory route of migratory birds crossing borders. The morning sun shining on the reed marshes has a unique charm. Blue sky, white clouds, clear water, reeds, seagulls, sunset, every moment is breathtakingly beautiful. The azure lake water, the dense wetlands, and the graceful poplar trees in the distance form a unique landscape between the north side of the Badain Jaran Desert and the 800-mile Gobi no-man's land to the west. The Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wei's verse 'A solitary smoke in the vast desert straight, the long river sunset round' was created at Juyanhai. When the wind rises in Ejin, the sand falls in Beijing city. In the early years, the sandstorms in Beijing in spring were very severe. The expedition team traced the wind upwards and went west to investigate the source of the sandstorm, and found that the historically famous Juyanhai had almost dried up, and the historically famous oasis had almost been desertified, with large areas of poplar forest dead. After years of management, Juyanhai now covers an area of more than 60 square kilometers, with clear waves on the lake surface and reeds growing on the lakeside, with the morning glow and seagulls flying together. Therefore, watching the sunrise at Juyanhai has now become a tourist hotspot.
