History
Qinghai Lake (青海湖) is called the biggest lake in China, but it is shrinking. It is thought that part of the cause of decrease in size is overgrazing and irrigation in the area. Herdsmen have lived around the lake for hundreds of years, but now, the government wants to resettle many ethnic herdsmen away from it. The lake has been decreasing in area for the last century. Seven hundred square kilometers of its area have been lost, and its surface level has dropped by 13 meters. Big sand dunes have been blowing in and forming a peninsula of sand. If it doesn't stop growing, the lake may be split in two. Small side lakes and ponds are forming as the water level drops.
Qinghai Lake Cycling
Qinghai Lake is one of the most popular rides in China. The lake is already a stage for the popular Qinghai Lake International Cycling Race that is held every year in July at the same time as the Tour de France.
