Spectacular views of Earth from China's space station (2)

Photo taken by Chinese astronaut Liu Boming shows part of the Eurasian continent. On the upper left corner is Lake Balkhash in Kazakhstan, the fourth-longest lake in the world. Some of the lake's water comes from the Ili River in northwest China's Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. In the lower left corner is Lake Issyk-Kul in Kyrgyzstan, which is like the gem of Eurasia.
