The lake is shaped like a triangle, about 30 kilometers wide from north to south, 35 kilometers long from east to west, and has a water area of ??827 square kilometers. The Ulungu River first flows into Jili Lake, flows out through the northwest, and then flows into the Ulungu Lake through the 8-kilometer Kuygo River. The salinity of the lake water gradually increases from the entrance of the river to the west to 2.7 g/L, and it has a salty taste. In 1969, the watershed between the Irtysh River and Ulungu Lake was dug, and a channel project to divert Eji Lake was built, which can divert 185 million cubic meters of water into Ulungu Lake every year. Ulungu Lake is famous for its five-striped black fish, red fish, carp, Baikal yaro, perch, bream, and Oriental bream.

The lakeside area is a pasture with lush water and grass.

Ulungu Lake is a depression lake formed in the late Quaternary period. The Ulungu River originating from the Altai Mountains flows into it and is the main water source of the lake. The lake level is average

Charming lake surface

With a depth of eight meters, Ulungu Lake is the only place to pass between Altay City and Karamay City. Its charm lies in its "sea magnanimity" and its famous "Fuhai Fish" both inside and outside the area. The cliff on the north bank is only 2.1 kilometers away from the Irtysh River. The lake basin was formed by the collapse of the fault.

Wulungu Lake is divided into two parts: Dahaizi (Brentuo Sea) and Xiaohaizi (Jili Lake). The entire east coast of Xiaohaizi and both sides of the river mouth are covered with dense reeds, overgrown weeds, flocks of wild ducks, flying seagulls, and rare birds such as white swans and spotted cranes. It can be called a "bird paradise" in summer and autumn. There are also more than a dozen species of rare fish growing in the lake.

The east coast of Dahaizi is a beach composed of fine and soft white quartz sand without silt. The slope of the seabed is gentle and the lake water is crystal clear. There is a silver beach about 10 kilometers long in the north, suitable for swimming, surfing, skateboarding, boating and other water entertainment activities.

Ulungu Lake

you should pay attention: when the host is cooking, do not touch the tableware, let alone fiddle with the food or lift the lid of the pot; You must not refuse the meat you eat or the bedding given to you for the night, but accept it happily, otherwise the master will think you look down on him; you cannot praise the master's livestock and hounds in person; you cannot point to the number of people with your hands or sticks. Otherwise, it will be thought that you are counting people as livestock; you should generally not stay in a Kazakh family for more than two days.

Since the beginning of winter, Xinjiang’s Ulungu Lake fishery production has attracted many tourists from both inside and outside Xinjiang for sightseeing with its unique ice fishing methods, and has become the main brand of ice and snow tourism in the Altay region.

Winter fishing scene in Ulungu Lake (15 photos)

On the open surface of Ulungu Lake, fishermen use ice hammers passed down from their ancestors to cut holes in the ice and fish The 1,000-meter large dragnet slowly passed under the ice, and then gradually surrounded it, forming a net array with a radius of several thousand square meters.

The entire net pulling process takes more than 5 hours from lowering the net to closing the net. Accompanied by the rumbling sound of the winching machine, the large dragnet was slowly pulled out of the water. Pike, silver carp, carp, and flat fish were tumbling and jumping in the net, making the visitors cheer and scream in uncontrollably.

The vast waters of Ulungu Lake also provide convenient conditions for water transportation for local people. Good natural conditions and landscapes provide people with places for tourism, rest, and recuperation, as well as necessary places for scientific research and teaching.

In order to protect Ulungu Lake, the local government has adopted various measures, such as regular fishing moratoriums, releasing fish fry into the lake on time, prohibiting the establishment of factories around the lake, and prohibiting the discharge of sewage into the lake. Implement humane management of Ulungu Lake to allow the lake to recuperate.

Ulungu Lake

To protect Ulungu Lake, we need to ideologically abandon the traditional pollution control model of "pollution first and treatment later". Since the Industrial Revolution, industrialization in developed countries has been surging. While creating huge material wealth, environmental pollution has become increasingly serious and major environmental incidents have continued to occur. Under strong social pressure, developed countries began to control pollution and followed the path of "pollution first and then treatment", paying a heavy environmental price. Practice has proved that the path of “pollution first and treatment later” simply does not work. The lessons learned from environmental problems such as repeated cyanobacteria pollution in Taihu Lake prove that relying on end-of-pipe treatment to alleviate environmental pressure is tantamount to "raising the pot and stopping the boiling". Only by recuperating and recuperating can we "draw fire from the bottom of the cauldron" and protect the environment from the source of development.

Protecting Ulungu Lake is an important manifestation of respecting the laws of nature. Under the extensive economic growth model, the faster the economic development speed

the greater the pollutant emissions. When people's demands on the water environment greatly exceed its bearing capacity, the watershed ecosystem will be seriously imbalanced, "sick and sick", and overwhelmed. If it continues to develop, serious ecological disasters will occur. As Engels pointed out in Dialectics of Nature: “We must not be overly intoxicated with our human victory over nature.

For every such victory, nature takes revenge on us. The inhabitants of Mesopotamia, Greece, Asia Minor, and other places destroyed their forests in order to obtain arable land, but they never dreamed that these places would become what they are today. "Barren land". Therefore, we can no longer indulge people's plundering of the natural environment. We must give the water environment the necessary time and space to give full play to the self-repair and self-renewal functions of the water ecosystem so that ecological productivity can be restored and developed. Let the ecosystem move from severe "imbalance" to "balance" and enter a virtuous cycle to achieve harmonious development between man and nature.
