The most beautiful mirror of the sky - Chaka Salt Lake welcomes everyone to check in

After people return, their hearts stay at Chaka Salt Lake, it's simply too beautiful. 🍒 Chaka Salt Lake is known as China's 'Mirror of the Sky', comparable to Bolivia. What makes Chaka Salt Lake different from other salt lakes is that it is a brine lake with both solid and liquid states. Walking on the lake is like being in the sky, with the lake reflecting the heavens, the earth, and you. If you're lucky enough, during the day you can see mirages formed on the surface of the lake. 🌈 Chaka Salt Lake has been rated by 'National Geographic Traveler' as 'one of the 55 places to go in a lifetime'. When the sun sets behind the mountains, the afterglow scatters on this white scroll. 🌵 Chaka Salt Lake is located near Chaka Town, Wulan County, Haixi Mongolian and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, 292 kilometers from Xining and about 151 kilometers from Qinghai Lake. 🌻 Chaka Salt Lake ticket price: 70 yuan, half price with a student ID; Scenic area train ticket price: one-way 50 yuan/person; 🍒Tips: 1. The small train at Chaka Salt Lake is a major feature, but it departs at fixed times during the peak season, and the queue time is long, so make sure to manage your time well when visiting. 2. It is recommended to bring waterproof shoe covers or transparent water shoes, as there are pebbles in the water that can easily cut your feet, and it is very painful to sprinkle salt on wounds. 3. There is a large temperature difference between day and night in the salt lake scenic area, and it is especially cold in the morning and evening, so you need to bring a coat to keep warm. The climate is dry and the ultraviolet rays are strong, so be sure to bring sunscreen, especially to prevent altitude sickness. 4. If it has been cloudy and rainy for several days, the salt layer in the lake may be diluted and dissolved, revealing the mud underneath, and you will not be able to go down to the lake to play. There are many small black holes in the lake, which are actually traps, so don't step on them, and the darker they are, the more dangerous they are.
