The Hala Lake ( 哈拉湖 , Ha lā hú ) is a lake in the Qilian Shan -Gebirge, on the northeast edge of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in China .
The lake has a water surface of 590 km 2 . In the edge areas it is relatively flat and in its center it reaches a depth of 65 m. Its catchment area is a 4690 km 2 , drainless basin, crossed by a tectonic rift and surrounded by high mountain ranges. The highest of these mountain ranges is the Shule Nanshan in the north, whose summit is 5800 m above sea level. M. exceeds. The water level of the lake is 4078 m above sea level. M. is so deeply embedded between the mountains that it would have to rise by about 200 m for the water to flow out of the pool. Then the lake would head in a south-easterly direction towards Qinghai Lake, 100 km awayflow away. Although it has no drain, its salinity is only 1.8% maximum.
