The Lobu people are an ancient ethnic group living in the Lop Nur area of ​​Xinjiang. They make a living by fishing and hunting, rely on lake resources, use canoes to fish, and live in reed houses. As the Lop Nur dried up in the 20th century, they gradually moved away and their traditional way of life was facing extinction. Today, there is a Lobu village (tourist attraction) in Yuli County, which retains some cultural memories. Their rise and fall reflects the profound impact of environmental change on human society.
