On one side is the vast desert, and on the other side is an oasis with rippling blue waves. This is the national 4A-level scenic spot - Lalikun National Wetland Park.
Lalikun, Uyghur means "a lake full of tulips".
Lalikun Wetland is located on the southern edge of the Taklimakan Desert, in the northwest of Moyu County in the Hotan area. The sharp contrast between desert scenery and large reed swamp waters makes this place unique.
In the Lalikun Wetland, you can often see various wild animals such as southern Xinjiang rabbits and black water chickens.
This is an important passage for migratory birds. There are 96 species of birds. During the migration season every year, migratory birds flock together, and the scene is spectacular.
