    1. The largest lake in China is: Qinghai Lake (area: 4583 square kilometers).

    2. Qinghai Lake, Tibetan name is "Cuowenbu" (meaning "Qingna blind sea"). Located in the northeast of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and Qinghai Province, it is the largest inland lake in China. It was formed by the fault collapse between Datong Mountain, Riyue Mountain and Nanshan Mountain in Qinghai in the Qilian Mountains.

    On July 30, the latest remote sensing monitoring results of the Qinghai Provincial Institute of Meteorological Sciences showed that the area of Qinghai Lake has been increasing for eight years.

    4. Formation reasons: Qinghai Lake is a tectonic fault lake, and the edge of the lake basin is mostly connected with the surrounding mountains by faults. At the beginning of the formation of the lake 202 million years ago, it was originally a large freshwater lake that was connected with the Yellow River water system, and the climate was mild and rainy at that time, and the lake water was discharged into the Yellow River through the inverted river in the southeast, which was an outflow lake.

    To 130,000 years ago, due to the neotectonic movement, the surrounding mountains were strongly uplifted, and from the end of the Pliocene, the Riyue Mountain and Yeniu Mountain in the east of the lake rose rapidly, blocking the inverted river that originally flowed into the Yellow River, forcing it to flow into Qinghai Lake from east to west, and Gahai and Erhai appeared, and then separated from Haiyan Lake, Shadao Lake and other sub-lakes.

    5. Realm change: Due to the blockage of the leakage channel, Qinghai Lake evolved into a closed lake. Coupled with the drying out of the climate, Qinghai Lake has gradually changed from a freshwater lake to a saltwater lake.

    The circumference of Qinghai Lake in the Northern Wei Dynasty was called a thousand miles, 400 kilometers in the Tang Dynasty, and 350 kilometers in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. About 20 km from the front edge of the Buha River delta, there are ruins of ancient lake embankments; Chahan City (built in the Han Dynasty), 25 kilometers away from the east shore of the lake, was originally on the lakeside. The east and west sides have receded by 25 and 20 kilometers respectively, and the water level has dropped by about 100 meters.

    Qinghai Lake is oval in shape and has a circumference of more than 300 kilometers.

    6. Geographical environment: Qinghai Lake is 105 kilometers long, 63 kilometers wide, 3196 meters above sea level, it is the largest inland lake in China, located in the northeast of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the northwest of Xining City, located between 99°36 100°16 east longitude, and between 36°32 37°15 north latitude. The lake is surrounded by four towering mountains

    It is Datong Mountain to the north, Riyue Mountain to the east, Qinghai Nanshan to the south, and Rubber Mountain to the west. All four mountains are between 3,600 and 5,000 meters above sea level. Qinghai Lake covers an area of 4,456 square kilometers and has a circumference of more than 360 kilometers, more than twice the size of the famous Taihu Lake.

    The surface of the lake is long from east to west, narrow from north to south, and slightly oval. The average depth of Qinghai Lake is about 21 meters, the maximum water depth is meters, the water storage capacity is 105 billion cubic meters, and the elevation of the lake is 3,260 meters. It is about 200 kilometers away from Xining.

    There are nearly 30 large and small rivers in the lake area. There are two sub-lakes on the east shore of the lake, one is Gahai, with an area of 48 square kilometers and is saltwater; An ear sea, with an area of 8 square kilometers, is freshwater.

    The largest lake in China is Qinghai Lake.

    With an area of more than 4,500 square kilometers (April 2020 data), Qinghai Lake is the largest lake in China, as well as the largest saltwater lake and the largest inland lake. Qinghai Lake is a faulted lake, and the fault between the three mountains of Datong Mountain, Qinghai Nanshan Mountain, and Riyue Mountain collapsed, resulting in the formation of Qinghai Lake.

    Qinghai Lake is the largest lake in China, but it is not the deepest lake. The deepest lake in China is Tianchi in Changbai Mountain, Jilin, with a maximum depth of about 373 meters and an average water depth of 204 meters. The average water depth of Qinghai Lake is only 21 meters, and the deepest depth is only one meter, which is only about one-fifth of Fuxian Lake in Yunnan Province (the deepest meter) among the top deep lakes in China.

    Origin. Qinghai Lake is located in a Tibetan inhabited area, and the name of the lake is actually translated from Tibetan into Chinese. This large lake is called Tsowenpo in Tibetan, which translates to the blue sea.

    In addition, the Mongolian people also call this big lake the cyan lake, and the Mongolian language is called Kukunaoer. There are many lakes in China that are called seas, such as Erhai Lake in Yunnan and Caohai Lake in Guizhou.

    Qinghai Lake can indeed be called the sea, the area is too large. More than 100 years ago, the Russian explorer Kozlov carried out a series of expeditions and archaeology in the western part of China, and according to the technical conditions at that time, he believed that the area of Qinghai Lake was about 4,800 square kilometers, which was not much different from the actual area. If you have ever been to Taihu Lake in Jiangsu, you will admire the vastness of Taihu Lake.

    Taihu Lake covers an area of about 2,445 square kilometers, which is only more than half the area of Qinghai Lake. Taihu Lake is slightly irregular in shape, the water surface is vast, and Qinghai Lake is also about the same shape, which is easy to give people a "sense of the sea".
