Oasis Lake Crescent Lake

So today we'll talk about the oasis of Lake Crescent Lake, and we should begin with the fact that Lake Crescent Lake is famous primarily by its shape, which is represented by a crescent moon, and it is located in an oasis of beauty Dunhuang, in particular, not far from the town of the same name in the Chinese province under the name " Gansu ».

Like every oasis, this place is among the barren desert sands.

In accordance with measurements of scientists in the mid-20th century Crescent Lake average depth was about 5 meters, with regard to the level of the deepest, it was 7, 5 meters. Since then, much water has flowed, and in the literal and figurative sense of the expression. And it confirms what is already in the 1990s, the area of ​​the water table dropped to 5,000 square meters, with regard to the maximum depth, it was only 1, 3 meters.



I must say that Oasis Crescent Lake - a very beautiful places of our planet, and it confirms the incredible popularity among tourists. The Government of China for many years, it intends to hold in place the water supply, in order to preserve this fabulous oasis from drying out, alas, but these intentions could not manage to realize in life, and the reason for that was simple - a lack of funds.

It was only in 2006, the local authorities with the active support of the central government filled the lake water, restoring its depth. I must say that since these places began to flourish again, and the size and depth of the lake back to the previous level!

Our editorial staff advises you to go on a jeep safari or take a camel to explore the surroundings of this oasis. About the local beauty can claim submitted photos, but in reality everything is much more beautiful and fabulous!
