The lake levels in the eastern and southern Asia are regarded as low lake-level owing to precipitation decreasing based on the records of lake-level fluctuation in the continental interior lakes since the last glacial maximum (LGM) (C 18±1 kaBP, since 20 kaBP) in the Central Asia. Higher lake-level appeared in the transition belt between western Kunlun Mountain and the central Tibetan Plateau. Furthermore, the highest lake-level was recorded in the belt of western Asia to Lake Balkhash (Shi Yafeng et al., 1997). But till now, no direct geological proofs can confirmed this viewpoint. A complete lake terrace strata since the Last Glacial Maximum near the Selin Co in the central Tibetan Plateau, the lowest lakelevel was understood during the LGM based on the description of sediments and analyses of geochemical environmental proxies.
