This name originates from China. It is part of the China Gazetteer and the SCAR Composite Gazetteer of Antarctica.
It's a small lake located in the north of the Jiulong Bandao and near the west coast. The surface of the lake has the elevation of about 2 meters. Its area is around 300 square meters. Snow melts in the summer. That will make the crystal clear lake uncovered. In the sunlight, the water is so calm that it looks like a mirror. It was named when aerial photos surveying and mapping in 1990.
