Dongting Lake

Chinese Dongting Hu or Tung-t'ing Hu

Large, shallow lake, northeastern Hunan province, China. Its size varies greatly from season to season. Its normal area of 1,089 sq mi (2,820 sq km) may increase up to 7,700 sq mi (20,000 sq km) in flood season. Some two-fifths of the water from the Yangtze River (Chang Jiang) flows into the lake through four channels. It also is fed by the Zi, Yuan, Xiang, and Li rivers. It discharges into the Yangtze.
