Dahongliutan lies along the China National Highway G219. Following the highway westward, the deserted town of Kangxiwar is about 50 km west and the modern town of Xaidulla is about 115 km west. Following the highway southeastward leads to Aksai Chin. The Tianshuihai army service station in Aksai Chin is about 100 km south along the highway.
Being about a few miles downstream of the bend of Karakash River, the area was noted by the British archaeologist Aurel Stein as the highest point on the Karakash Valley at which there was adequate grazing for pack animals.[3] As such, it was used as a camp by number of European expeditions in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Dahongliutan was roughly where the Mandalik camp was during British explorer George W. Hayward's expedition in the 1860s,[4] and short distance downstream of site of Sora camp during British diplomat Thomas Douglas Forsyth's expedition in the 1870s.[5] It was known as Abdul Ghafur Tam during Aurel Stein's visit in the first decade of 1900s[3] and as Abdul Ghafur Langar during German explorer Emil Trinkler's visit in the late 1920s.[6]
In late 2018, the China Geological Survey announced the discovery of pegmatiticlithium deposits in Dahongliutan during a field visit.[7][8] The commercial exploration rights were auctioned off in late 2019 for RMB 2.8 billion.[9][10]
