West Siling Co (色林错/སེར་གླིང་མཚོ), Tibet, China

Description
Chinese: 色林错,那曲地区 (thank you very much,, 灞涘长安!)
Tibetan: སེར་གླིང་མཚོ or ཟེ་ ལིང་མཚོ

This is not going to be an award-winning map -- it is definitely a work in progress.

I threw it together quickly from terrain.party data for an area that I had used as a base map for many cities I had drawn on paper as a teenager back in the 1990s. :D I wanted to make sure I could access it from any of my computers. You're welcome to utilize it for your Cities:Skylines city, as well.

The terrain.party data made the area more hummocky than it is IRL; using some advanced terrain tools will be a must.

**NOTE: 17 May 2018 -- I've done some basic smoothing. I may do more later on if I have time. **

The lake lies at an altitude of 4530 meters. It is a salt lake. It is fed by the rivers Za'gya Zangbo (or Tsagya Tsangpo) (扎加藏布) and the Boques Tsangpo (波曲藏布). With an area of 1865 square kilometers, Siling Co is the second largest saltwater lake in the northern Tibetan Plateau and forms part of the Siling Co National Nature Reserve (also Selincuo Reserve or Xainza Nature Reserve). The 400,000 hectare reserve was established in 1993 and contains significant populations of black-necked cranes and some 120 species of birds in total. The lake itself, however, only has a single species, Gymnocypris selincuoensis, exploited by fishermen. The prairie on the banks of the lake is traditionally used as grazing land for yaks and sheep.

The temperature at the lake is an annual average of -3 to -0.6 °C, the maximum annual temperature 9.4 °C. The average rainfall is 290 millimeters per year, 90 percent of which falls in the months of June to September, often in the summer as hail.

Thank you, 灞涘长安! I've added the Chinese and Tibetan names for the lake to the description and the title.

谢谢灞涘长安! 我在描述和标题中添加了该湖的中文和藏文名称。 (我的回复已使用谷歌翻译从英文翻译成中文。)
