Location context

Bosten Lake National Wetland Park is located in Bohu County, Bayingolin Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Scope: the south of Xiaohu district (from Yangshui station to Kongque bridge) is bounded by the water conveyance canal of Kongque River West pumping station, and the north is bounded by the newly built flood dike; the South and east of Great Lake District (from Yangshui station to Yinsha Beach) is bounded by the lake Ring Road, and the West and North (from Yinsha beach to Dahekou) is bounded by the 1048m water level; the Kaidu River is partly from Baolang Sumu sluice to the lake inlet.

The temperature is changeable in spring, dry and rainy, dry and hot in summer, cooling rapidly in autumn, and cold in winter. The annual average sunshine hours are 2844.2 hours. The water area of the lake can adjust the temperature, the air is humid, the heat is moderate, and there is no harm of high temperature. The variation law of ground temperature and air temperature is basically the same, but the variation range of low temperature is larger than that of air temperature. The change rule of air pressure is low in summer, high in winter, low in daytime and high at night, with more northwest wind, and more southwest wind in the afternoon in spring and autumn. The annual average wind speed is 1.8 m ~ 2.8 m / s. The wetland park is far away from the ocean.
