Geological formation
  Construction of Qinghai Lake rift lake, the lake edge of the multi-phase of fracture and the surrounding mountains. 20 to 200 million years ago into a lake early, early stage of formation was originally a large freshwater lake, and the Yellow River the same, then the climate mild and rainy, the water leaked through the southeastern Daotang River into the Yellow River, is an outflow of the lake. To 13 million years ago, as the new tectonic movement, uplift the surrounding mountains, from the late Pliocene, the eastern Lake Mountain, Buffalo Mountain rapid increase in uplift, so that the original Daotang River into the Yellow River has been blocked, forcing it from the East west into the lake, there has been Gahai, ear sea, and then isolated Haiyan Lake, Milton Lake sub-lake. The leakage channel blocked, then evolved into a block of Qinghai Lake Lake. Coupled with the drying climate, the fresh water lake Qinghai Lake is also becoming saline. The perimeter of the Qinghai Lake during the Northern Wei Dynasty called Trinidad, the Tang Dynasty of 400 km, when the Qing Emperor Qianlong was reduced to 350 km. Buha River delta front at about 20 km to the ancient Hudi site; from the lake, 25 kilometers east of Seoul police (built in the Han Dynasty), the original in the lake. East and west sides have been back 25 km and 20 km, the water level dropped about 100 meters. Qinghai Lake is currently oval, circumference of 300 km. Russians Love Coates in 1908 when the lake water level 3205 m speculated, the lake area of 4,800 square kilometers; the last century 50's mapping data, the Qinghai Lake area is over 4568 square km lake; 70 measured topographic maps published by the lake the water level is about 3195 meters. Lake area is 4473 square kilometers; water level of 3193.59 m in 1988, the lake area of 4282 square kilometers, by 2000, through remote sensing satellite data analysis, the Qinghai Lake area is more than 4256.04 square kilometers. Water volume is 73.9 billion cubic meters, about 104 km the most 62 km wide, maximum depth of 3.14 kilometers, the average lake salinity 12.32 g / l, 1.24% salt content.

Ecological Protection
  The average water level of Qinghai to 12.1 cm per year rate of decline, the fastest decline in water levels in 2000, a year dropped by 21 centimeters, at this speed, the average reduction of lake water 436 million m3, is from a single split a large lake on the plateau, "a large number of small," the lakes. Shrinking lake caused the main factors of climate warming, increased human activity and reduced rainfall and other reasons, especially in the blind land reclamation around Qinghai Lake, the water damaged the river water, lake is currently 50% of the water streams have dried up. According to statistics, a significant reduction in the river water supply, with 20 years ago, into the lake, thereby reducing the volume by 60%.
  In recent decades, affected by climate warming and human activities, Qinghai lake level continued to decline, increased degradation of the watershed ecosystem. According to monitoring, the last 50 years, Qinghai lake level dropped 3.78 meters, surface area decreased by 362.3 square kilometers, roughly equivalent to an annual reduction of West Lake in Hangzhou.
  Some experts predict that if current rates continue to decline, with an average depth of 18 meters in the Qinghai Lake will completely disappear after 200 years. Now, due to climate warming and drying and basin-wide ecosystem degradation, declining water level of Qinghai general trend in the short term is difficult to change.
  To protect the Qinghai Lake, Qinghai Province Song Xiuyan on May 26, 2008 announced the official launch of the Qinghai Lake basin ecological environmental protection and comprehensive management of project investment of nearly 1.6 billion, the largest in 10 years have returned the original ecology of the Qinghai Lake.
  This is the Qinghai following the "Three Rivers" ecological protection project in the second major ecological environment comprehensive treatment project.
  Secretary, Ministry of Agriculture Livestock Zhi he says, the implementation of this project will effectively protect and restore the ecological environment in Qinghai Lake basin, and gradually ease the downward trend in water level of Qinghai, Qinghai-Tibet Plateau ecological security implications of major maintenance.
  Protection of ecological environment in Qinghai Lake Basin Integrated Management Project with a total investment of 15.67 billion yuan, planning and implementation period of 10 years, will be in Qinghai Lake basin Gangcha, Haiyan, Tianjun, Republican four counties, covering the whole of Qinghai Lake basin.
  The main building of the project includes wetland, grassland management, grasslands mice pest control, desertification, land management, ecological protection forest construction, pasture and ecological migration project.
  According to the plan will be implemented from grazing natural grassland fencing 854,700 ha; wetland 276,600 ha; severe type of degraded grassland desertification control 91,500 hectares; soil type degraded grassland restoration 91,100 ha; drug 338,600 ha weed eradication treatment; grassland mice pest control 1,302,400 ha; desertification control 39,400 hectares of land; 34,400 hectares of ecological forest construction.
  Meanwhile, on the Qinghai Lake basin 881, 4157 people were immigrants, reduce the amount of various types of livestock equivalent to almost one million sheep, regulation 6 Buha River 200 km river into the lake, and stone removal is Hai Dam power station.
  The total investment in all the works, wetland protection and environmental management, protection and management of degraded land, biodiversity conservation in the construction investment 92.8% of total investment; additional investment will be used to improve the farmers and herdsmen in production, living conditions and re_set_tlement and technical support and management engineering.
  Implementation of the project will be man-made combination of conservation and natural recovery, the first 5 years of restoration and construction of the main building and after 5 years to consolidate the results. The overall objective is committed to promoting natural ecosystems throughout the basin and the virtuous cycle of sustainable economic and social development and achieve restoration of ecological functions, and improved living standards, people and nature live in harmony.
  At present, the monitoring shows that the rising water level of Qinghai Lake in recent years, water area continues to increase.
  In addition, there is news that the water level of Qinghai, after ten years will continue to rise. This assessment is made by Chinese Academy of Sciences researcher Li Shijie, vice president of Nanjing Branch. Shijie and his PhD after three years of repeated use of numerical model calculations, the results show that the water level of Qinghai in 2010 in the volatile, then reaches a steady state, continued to rebound after 2016, around 2030 the water level will return to the level of the 70s of last century, more than 3 meters higher than at present.
  Why the water level of Qinghai is expected to rebound? Shijie explained that Qinghai Lake in the past few years is subject to the impact of global warming, the basin temperatures and precipitation decrease, the water level is declining. The next decade although the climate is likely to continue warming, but the monsoon is expected to increase from the Indian Ocean, the eastern Tibetan Plateau rainfall will increase, enabling the water level recovery. "The future trend of Qinghai lake level rise is inevitable, but sooner or later, just on time," Li Shijie said.
  Nevertheless, we still have to be vigorously protect the Qinghai Lake. Qinghai Lake for the protection of human beings are bound to be good help. The future, we will have a better Qinghai Lake!

Literature on the Qinghai Lake
  First, the Qinghai Lake, a fantastic lake
  From "three hundred Chinese Landscape Essays" (China Press, 1992)
  Of: Fengjun Li
  Plateau strange dreams we hit the road together with the Venus. With us on the road, there was a wide variety of complicated and confusing dreams on the plateau.
  Car traveling on the Qinghai-Tibet highway, but not past the bumps. The window is dark and silence falls on thin hit the window glass, rain mixed with several more distant bark. I was gently rocking in and connected to the depot just in the warm unfinished dream.
  ... ... Yellow mountain yellow waves, the waves rolled in I was struggling to swim, almost one after another could not withstand the higher crest ... ... Suddenly the waves subsided, the Dead Sea into a gray, really big Yes, unbounded, which is the vast desert. I walked with difficulty, thirst fatigue, almost does not separate legs. What is that? A hazy horizon of green trees in the shaking, the stream in the drip, on the shore have a house, a house like the move. Is this desert oasis or mirage? To see how, but, how Maibu Kai legs ... ...
  Body tilting forward suddenly, I woke up, looked puzzled young driver side, said that since there is no road to the railway corps soldiers a few words, then said softly, the sound:
  "Qinghai Lake to get off to see it!"
  Continue to dream
  I fell into the early morning in July, breathed the sweet air after the rain. Moment, I was shocked, like accidentally flew into a vast panorama, the loss of the center and direction. My eyes, a trimmed dew verdant marsh, marsh ridge a ridge on the growth of the rape style yellow, green and yellow in the back, but also link with the school of immense blue lake. That marsh green, green was delicate, and that cauliflower yellow, yellow was booming, and that the blue lake, is just how intoxicating blue ah! It blue like the ocean, comparable to the blue ocean was pure; it blue like the sky, comparable To get deep blue sky. Qinghai Lake of the blue, so blue pure, so blue Shenzhan also Tian Ya Blue was gentle. On the lake like a blue brocade, with a layer of slightly undulating ripples, such as the glass size has not yet solidified, but also kind of like a white girl that water Lingling, Jingjing blue eyes. Just as I was impressed by the charm of this blue, but could not find an appropriate analogy, I suddenly remembered the address minority in the Qinghai Lake. In Mongolian, the it is called "Kukunuoer" in Tibetan language, it is called "the wrong temperature cloth", are "green color of the sea" means. Why is called the "blue sea", not called the "Blue Sea" mean? Could there be for "excel the predecessors" saying? In fact, Qinghai Lake is so blue it because the lake above the sea level 3197 meters, Mount Tai is higher than two, the lower oxygen content in water, plankton scarcity, salinity in the 0  6% or so, transparency to eight nine meters or more, therefore, becomes even more crystal clear crystal of the lake. I see, no wonder the blue Qinghai Lake appear to be more than the United States and other, more intoxicating ah!
  Pleasing to the eye and then looked great in the Qinghai Lake can present the end of the day connected to the local water is not a retreat of the clouds, it is rolling forward, like a galloping horse. Beyond that, that is unique to that clear blue skies after the rain, this light blue sky stretching to my behind, a vertical green marsh, marsh on the stand with rolling brown hills. And my feet like a silver road Hadad, winding stretch far away with more than one place ... a beautiful picture ... ah! And all of which, they are soaked in dawn angry, soaked Morning Rain De moisture, seemed so fresh and so quiet. That flash of crystal raindrops faintly exposed in the grass, flowers, the lake and mountains between the top and the air molecules, so long as air to breathe gently, sweetly, cool cool. I was almost drunk, wanted to run, for fear damage to the picture of tranquility; want to cry, afraid to disturb the tranquility of this picture. I looked at not far from the young driver, he is still so solemn, quietly looking at a distant place, and no exchange of emotional meaning, and that horses walk on the marsh of yak, is exceptionally ease. I only stand alone in silence with, any of the brain in the United States and intoxicated, he was an upsurge in the United States and downs. I have experienced the charming West Lake, the elegant East Lake, South Lake solemn, vast Taihu Lake, and Lake's Fan Ying, Jiang Sheng Xuanwu Lake, Kunming Lake and laughing ... ... but this time, perhaps the preference of the reason, I been shaken by the pristine lake, the original emotion that is an ornate charm of nature overturned. My fantasy, when the true nature and the Creator in the creation of this lake, when faced with a huge curtain painted must Shuaixia without hesitation that fine knife, hearty waving the largest brush and a touch of yellow, touch of green, a touch of blue ... ... a large spill outline, therefore, leaving it without the slightest gloss and polish of the lake, leaving the beauty of this rugged, natural beauty, pristine beauty.
  Who says love at first sight is always giddy it? In some chance, the sudden desire to meet his or obscure or hard in pursuit of yet been unable to obtain the good things, how different hygiene conditions see it?
  Yes ah! I never had such a taste of the enchanting beauty, and I even wonder whether this plateau is that strange dream, that dream continue?
  The Legend of dream
  Just these mythical legends, there is how charming ah! The blue lake, the waves that move slightly generic, but also seems to whisper, narrating the history of the distant lake, the changing course: As early as three thousand two hundred million years ago, Here the whole is a vast ancient sea, and even now the Pacific together, and later, in a strong "orogeny", the Himalayan uplift to drive away all the water, and the ancient inland sea into a basin. After another period of long years, a number of rivers, lakes and swamps formed the Qinghai Lake, but when it is "live", its water flows into the Yellow River. Thirteen years ago to about the geology known as the "Quaternary", when another movement, once the Qinghai Lake, a tightly blocking exports. Piece of the output water of the river have come to a sum of a large U-turn, back into the lake, which is rare in China, from east to west Daochanghe. As for the Qinghai Lake in the sea, mountains, Hercynian mountains, the sea island, Shi Yi Island, and that famous, like a naughty black tadpole-like Bird Island, the legend sounds appealing to more. This is the bird world, is a wonderful paradise, otherwise, why year after year attracts tens of thousands to hundreds of different kinds of birds in millions of it? That red, blue, flowers birds, or even that white swans, tufted duck beautiful, cheerful lark, elegant black-necked cranes are year after year, from southern China, from Southeast Asia, from Nepal, from India, flew here, where swirling waves, leisurely self-Ming, _set_tled here and reproduce. Only in this magical, beautiful, unique place of peace before it can become a vibrant world of birds, and a flourishing kingdom of birds ah! There was merrily swim a lake full of fish, probably anyone's guess how many reserves it. It is said, to the height of summer, groups, layers of fish with freely floating, golden, bright red, beautiful. There is such a true story: pulling a fishing net fishing team, network with special emphasis, all the staff are on the array is also pull them ten horses also had to be sent to the "front lines", and only then drag net up. One said that thirty thousand feet kilograms. Fishing boat with a machine that is today, two big ships must also be collaboration, "Four kg of fish subnet pull", it is common. And in the winter it, as long as the drilling of a hole in the ice, and then lit a fire in the hole, and that groups of fish will be coming quickly, a bar automatically jumps out from the hole, which is popular Qinghai "ice fish" yet. The scene, the atmosphere, how the merry laughter will return.
  Who can believe this is the nature of reality rather than the bold dream it?
  The legend of this dream, dream-like scenery ah!
  Pursuit, and not indulge in dreams
  We walked along the green marsh, along the blue of the lake, continue with our journey. Enjoy the appreciation of beauty, has made vague dreams I thoroughly freed, I opened the window glass, nostalgia looking out, trying to Qinghai Lake, the United States, deeply imprinted in their hearts. At this moment, I have a kind of deep feelings of regret and pity, such a beautiful lake, actually quietly treasured place in so far, I really want to tell all the people that have come to enjoy the unique beauty of Qinghai Lake , to come and enjoy the charm of this nature. However, I irony, I can not imagine, when tens of thousands of like the flow of money as a tributary of the Qinghai Lake, Qinghai Lake, western therefore built the small building, prop up the sun Hua San, Apollo music Dangqi the time, today this magnificent lake what would become a scene of it? No, just let it naturally survive it. While modern civilization is an unstoppable trend, however, areas of the United States, is not the original one seat should stay pure natural place? Because the aesthetic is different, fashionable woman although compelling, and elegant is not it natural girls love you!
  I will come again, and Qinghai Lake.
  Comments: The headline on all of them have that "dream", during which intrinsically linked to the meaning, and development and deepen. The complete description of different aspects from the fantastic scene of Qinghai Lake, Qinghai Lake tour describes the feeling of "Dream" is a clue throughout the text.
