Jili Lake
Jili Lake (Chinese: 吉力湖) is a large, shallow lake in the Junggar Basin, within Xinjiang, China. It is fed by the Ulungur river.
It is believed that the lake expanded to fill its current surface area 1600 years ago.
Environment
The water quality of the lake has declined in recent years due to human activity in the area, affecting the lake's ecology.
