The length of the lake from north to south is 45 kilometers (28 mi) and the widest distance between east and west is only 6 kilometers (3.7 mi). The area is 95 km2 (37 sq mi) and the storage capacity is 1.63 billion m3. The south part of lake is shallow with the deepest place in the northern part at 62 meters (203 ft).

The winter average temperature in Heilongjiang Province is below -20°C (-4°F), but the temperature at the bottom of the water is always above 10°C (50°F).[2]

On Titan, the largest moon of the planet Saturn, there is a large surface body of liquid hydrocarbons, Jingpo Lacus, named after Jingpo Lake.


Formation


The lake was created about 10,000 years ago when the lava of volcanic eruptions in the region blocked the flow of the Mudan River. Jingpo Lake has experienced five volcanic eruptions.[3] It is the largest alpine lava barrier lake in China.[4]


Natural resources


The northern side of the river cascades down the Diaoshuilou Falls, a 40 m (130 ft) waterfall formed by the lake. This lake is famous for its craggy limestone cliffs (similar to those of Guilin) and its turquoise-colored waters containing 40 types of fish and fresh water coral.

In the southern side of the lake, there are river deltas formed in the estuary of Mudan River and its tributaries. This topography supports a large number of plankton to survive, so it is suitable for the growth of fish. There are various kinds of freshwater fish in Jingpo Lake. The most famous one is Red-tailed fish, also known as White Cloud Mountain minnow (Tanichthys albonubes).

The lava stone also provides a good environment for rice to grow due to its ability to absorb heat.


Cultural landscapes


Jingpo Lake is on the first list of National Park of China. It was approved as a National Geopark of China In August 2005.

On September 18, 2006, Jingpo Lake was designated as one of the Global Geoparks by UNESCO.

Il lago Jingbo (鏡泊湖T, 镜泊湖S) è un lago di origine vulcanica dai fondali alquanto bassi. Si trova a circa quattro ore di auto da Mudanjiang. Sulle sue rive sorgono almeno due centri turistici ed una centrale idroelettrica. Il lago è circondato da vegetazione composta prevalentemente da boschi. Sul lago è possibile effettuare escursioni su piccoli battelli o su motoscafi. La maggiore attrattiva sono le cascate che danno origine al suo estuario. Le cascate si riversano in un anfiteatro di roccia molto chiuso che in origine fu la bocca eruttiva principale di un vulcano.
