Xijir Ulun Lake

Xijir Ulan Lake is a high inland lake in the Hoh Xil country of the Tibetan Plateau. Like neighbouring Ulan Ul and Hoh Xil lakes, it lies among isolated basins north of the Tanggula Mountains. Sparse alpine grassland surrounds the waters, and the severe climate supports animals adapted to great altitude, including wild yak and Tibetan antelope.
