This is the Chaka Salt Lake in Golmud, Qinghai Province. A poem says: The salt flowers vie for the colors of spring, the lake water laughs at the rising sun with flowing rosy clouds. Golden cups and silver platforms enrich the world, pearls and agates are the fragrance of the earth. It was formed by the crustal changes of the ancient ocean through the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, separated by mountains and gradually shrinking and drying up. 'Chaka' means 'salt marsh' in Mongolian, and the lake contains over 50 billion tons of sodium chloride. There is also a salt bridge tens of thousands of meters high on the Chaka Salt Lake, which is a naturally formed road from Golmud to Dunhuang, with a total length of 32 kilometers and a thickness of 15-18 meters. Chaka Salt Lake is the second largest in the world and the largest in Asia, one of the most famous inland salt lakes in the world. The Qinghai-Tibet Railway runs through it, covering an area of 5,800 square kilometers, at an altitude of 2,670 meters. The salt reserves are enough to feed the world's population of 6 billion for 1,000 years. No green plants can grow in Chaka Salt Lake, but it nurtures crystal-clear and ever-changing magical salt flowers. The salt flowers here resemble pearls, corals, pavilions, towers, or flying birds and beasts. They stand in clusters, patches, and bunches in the salt lake, decorating it like a fairyland. The Qaidam Basin always carries a bit of mystery, and this great treasure basin contains countless treasures. Chaka Salt Lake, located at the bottom of the basin, is a priceless pearl.
