“…Of all areas in China, Tibet is the best endowed with salt lakes, with over 220, and having a combined lacustrine area of 6000 km2. Thirty-nine Tibetan salt lakes have areas > 50 km2 each (Yang & Zheng, 1985). The climate is an arid continental one, with annual precipitation ranging from -250 mm in the south-east to only -60 mm in the north-west.…”

More than half of China's lakes are saline (viz. have salinities > 3 g L-'). Most salt lakes are in northwestern China (Tibet, Qinghai, Sinkiang, Inner Mongolia). Most Mongolian salt lakes are in the west of that country. Tectonic movements have been of the greatest importance in lake origins, but aeolian activity and deflation have also played a role. Many salt lakes in Qinghai-Tibet lie at altitudes > 4 000 m.a.s.1.; Aiding Hu (Sinkiang) lies at -154 m.a.s.
