Ebi Lake

Ebi Lake, known in Chinese as Huangcaopo or the Yellow Grass Marsh, lies at the southwestern edge of the Dzungarian Basin. Its salty waters receive rivers descending from the surrounding mountains, including the Bortala and Jing. The lake has no outlet to the sea; its shores and marshes stand amid a dry landscape near the Dzungarian Gate, the wide opening through the mountains to the northwest.
