Hydrology and Climate
Qinghai Lake is classified as an endorheic basin, meaning it has no outflow—water enters the lake from over 50 rivers and streams but does not flow out.
The main inflow is the Buha River, which flows into the lake from the northwest.
Due to its high elevation, the region has a cold and semi-arid climate.
Winters are long and harsh, while summers are cool and short.
Snow-capped mountains and grasslands surround the lake, contributing to its striking natural beauty.
