The lake occupies an area of over eighty square kilometers (about thirty-one square miles), including fourty-five square kilometers (about seventeen square miles) of lakes and over twenty-two square kilometers (about eighty square miles) of desert. If you love both the desert and the world of water, Sand Lake in northwest China is an ideal choice. This unique, natural
scenery attracts millions of visitors from China and abroad. There are several activities that one can do on or around the lake - including surfing and water motorcycling, as well as many different varieties of plant and animal life - home to more than 198 species of birds.
