Dongling Lake is a lake in the Qarhan Playa north of Golmud in the Haixi Prefecture of Qinghai Province in northwestern China. Like the other lakes of the surrounding Qaidam Basin, it is extremely saline.
Dongling Lake lies on the north edge of the Qarhan Playa at an elevation of 2690.3m (8,826.4feet) above sea level. It has an area of 7.2sqkm. Its depth does not usually exceed 1m (03feet).
Dongling's position at the northern end of the playa means that its waters are far more influenced by the mineral springs and their high concentrations of solutes.
