(221101) -- XINING, Nov. 1, 2022 (Xinhua) -- This photo taken on April 8, 2020 shows a brown-headed gull resting at Qinghai Lake, Gangcha County of Haibei Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, northwest China's Qinghai Province.
Qinghai Lake, located in northwest China's Qinghai Province, is China's largest inland saltwater lake. It is a major transit point for migratory birds from Central Asia to India and East Asia to Australia. It also serves as an important winter home for waterbirds on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
Qinghai Lake is a crucial body of water to maintain ecological security in the northeastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It is also a natural barrier for controlling the eastward spread of desertification. The improving ecosystem of the lake in recent years has benefited a variety of plant and animal species. (Xinhua/Zhang Long)
