Qionghai Lake is the largest fresh lake in Sichuan. It is a sink - down lake. Qionghai is located in the upper reaches of Jinshanjiang River branch - An'ning River. It is 5 km away from Xichang City south, adjacent to grand Daliangshan Mountain in east, and close to green Lushan Mountain in south. The lake is 1510 meter above sea level; the distance from south to north is 11.5 km, the width from east to west; the total area is 31.2 square kilometers, which is 4.5 times of that of Xihu Lake in Hangzhou (in Zhejiang province). The average depth of lake is 14 m; the deepest is 34 m; the water storage is 0.32 billion cubic meters. Qionghai looks like a pearl from air.
