Lake Bosten is located 57 km northeast of Korla, Xinjiang, China in Bayin'gholin Mongol Autonomous Prefecture. The large freshwater lake covers about 1,000 square kilometers.
Its name is sometimes rendered as ''Bosten'', ''Bosten-See'', ''Bosten Hu'', ''Bagrax-hu'', ''Bagrasch-k?l'', ''Baghrasch k?l'', ''Bagratsch-kul'', ''Bositeng Lake'' or ''Bositeng Hu.'' A fishery exists on the lake and fish such as Bullhead and Blunt-snout bream are native to the lake. Westerners sometimes refer to it as the 'Oriental Hawaii of Xinjiang' because of its unique lush scenery surrounded by the harsh Gobi Desert.
