Abstract Based on salt mineral composition and chronology, we reconstructed the lake evolution of Huahai Lake since the Late Glacial in the marginal area of the Asian monsoon in the Hexi Corridor of China. Results show that mirabilite deposition in the Late Glacial and Younger Dryas periods indicated high water salinity. Alluvial and aeolian deposition before 10.47 cal ka BP indicated an arid environment. During 10.47-8.87 cal ka BP, carbonate mineral deposition indicated water salinity decreasing and high lake levels. Between 8.87cal ka BP and 5.50 cal ka BP, salt minerals fluctuated intensively. In 8.8 cal ka BP, the layers were formed mainly on sulphate depositions, suggesting a salination process. After that, carbonate mineral became the main mineral in the layers and the lake salinity was low. After 5.50 cal ka BP, hiatus indicated the lake shrank. Holocene millennial-scale lake evolution and climate changes in Huahai Lake was controlled by the Asian monsoon and westerly winds.
