Jinel Lake in Dongtai, an Internet celebrity scenic spot that has swept the country for a short time, although it is a plateau saline lake, its lake water is like the sea, and the blue that fills the pupils is closer to emerald green, which seems to represent happiness and romance. The noble color of Tiffany gemstones. The soft and white beach is the crystallization of salt, as delicate as melted cheese. Many people call it the Maldives in Northwest China.
It is inconvenient to go abroad in the past two years. It is not easy to feel the beauty of the Maldives, but if you want to come to Qinghai to see Dongtai Jiner Lake, it will also make you very regretful, because the current Dongtai Jiernai Lake has long been beyond recognition. This group of photos is from Chongqing. It was taken a few days before the sail, and as far as the eye can see, there is a desert, and the legendary Lake Jinel in the Middle East is hard to find.
It is understood that Dongtai Jinel Lake is under the jurisdiction of Golmud in Haixi Mongolian and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Qinghai Province. It is adjacent to the famous National Highway 315 in the north and 230 kilometers away from Golmud City. It takes about three hours to drive. It is a brine ( Liquid) dominated super-large lithium deposits.
How did such a beautiful internet celebrity lake disappear? There are mainly two versions in the market. One version is because it is a typical inland arid climate, with more wind and less rain, long sunshine hours, and large water surface evaporation. The annual average evaporation is as high as 3560mm, but the annual average precipitation is only 21.9mm , It is precisely because of this reason that the extremely popular Dongtai Jinel Lake has become a desert.
Another theory is that Jinel Lake in Dongtai is not a lake in Tairan, but a mining area. It is a super-large lithium deposit mainly composed of brine. The Nalengele River under the snow-capped mountains was artificially diverted to dilute the lithium ore. As for the reason for the disappearance, it was because the mining area released the lake water last June, so it became what it is today.
No matter what the reason is, when we see Dongtai Jinel Lake like this, we will sigh in our hearts. One is the fragility of the ecology here. The enviable fairyland on earth and the endless desert are often in one thought. In such an environment , we will all feel the insignificance of human beings and the awe of nature.
Another feeling is that we should cherish the present, see the scenery we like, and do what we want to do, otherwise it will be a pity to miss it. Just like Dongtai Jinel Lake, you may have thought about it before, and you must go to see it when you have time in the future. Look, but when you are free, maybe the scenery you yearn for is no longer there. Similar to Jinai Lake in Dongtai, there are also permanently closed Seda, Icon Tianmen, and the burnt Notre Dame Cathedral.
Faced with such a scene, Yufan could only use the drone to take a group of aerial photos to commemorate this trip, but there seems to be a lake a few kilometers away, maybe there is still the beautiful Dongtai Jinel The lake, or maybe it just shrunk and didn't disappear, but vehicles couldn't drive in at all, and our time didn't allow it, so everyone can only make up the scene inside.
