## About Ulungur Lake Golden Coast

Far from the sea in Xinjiang, Ulungur Lake shines like a blue pearl, with golden shores that make you feel you have reached the coast. You can try swimming, surfing, paddleboarding and boating. Beyond enjoying the scenery, don't forget to try the “seafood” here: the lake holds a rich variety of fish, including Danube bream, Baikal roach, white-spotted pike, silver crucian carp, black crucian carp, tench, Eurasian perch and river perch, so you'll be able to eat your fill.
