The Yueyaquan Crescent Lake is situated in the middle of China’s Gobi Desert. The lake is 218 meters long and contains pure spring water. The 2000-year-old city dating back to the Han Dynasty is now a popular tourist attraction, but used to be a stop on the silk trade route.
The lake was in danger of disappearing until the government stepped in and refilled it in 2006. Water levels have since risen. Reports suggest the lake’s position to be the reason the oasis has survived along with the low altitude.
