Kosmodrom Jiuquan
The science fiction series Perry Rhodan features the rocket-shuttle "Stardust" returning from the Moon in 1971 with alien technology, landing near the point where the Ejin River (called "Edsengol") flows into the Juyan Lake (called "Goshunsee", i.e. Goshun Lake), not far from the real-life Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. The area, in which Earth's later capital "Terrania" is built, remains a central location in the series.
