Bosten Lake (Chinese: 博斯騰湖; pinyin: Bósīténg Hú) is a freshwater lake located 57 km northeast of Korla, Xinjiang, China in the Bayin'gholin Mongol Autonomous Prefecture. Covering an area of about 1,000 square kilometers (together with adjacent small lakes), it is the largest lake in Xinjiang and one of the largest inland freshwater lakes in China[1].
Its name is sometimes rendered as Bosten, Bosten Hu, Bagrax-hu, Bagrasch-köl, Baghrasch köl, Bagratsch-kul, Bositeng Lake or Bositeng Hu. A fishery exists on the lake and fish such as Bullhead and Blunt-snout bream are native to the lake. Westerners sometimes refer to it as the 'Oriental Hawaii of Xinjiang' because of its unique lush scenery surrounded by the harsh Gobi Desert.
The Kaidu River is the most important tributary to Lake Bosten, accounting for about 83% of its water inflow[1].
