It covers an area of about 69.82 square kilometers and belongs to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Its watershed is divided into various rivers in the internal flow area, and the secondary watershed is the internal flow area of Qaidam. You can come to the lake from the exit of the expressway near the intersection of Dexiao Expressway and Liuge Expressway. Above the Gobi Desert in the vast northwest, Xiaochaidan Lake is like an oasis, greenery can be seen from a distance, but the lake water is blue and clear. There is a half-person-high reed growing by the lake, swaying and swaying in the breeze. The environment is very beautiful, which is in sharp contrast with the vast Gobi Desert on the opposite side.
