Dahongliutan (Chinese: 大红柳滩) or simply Hongliutan (Chinese: 红柳滩[2]) is a village situated in Karakash river valley in the Hotan County, Hotan Prefecture, Xinjiang, China.

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.

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.
