It's hard to imagine that in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, China's northwest border that adjoins central Asia, there could be a watery place like Bohu County that is just over 40 percent covered with water.

The name is an abbreviation of Bosten Lake, the country's largest inland freshwater lake.

The county is also crossed by many small rivers that originate from the Tianshan Mountains.

The abundance of water nurtured lush trees, blanketing the county in green.
