·Chaka Salt Lake is a famous natural crystalline salt lake in the Qaidam Basin, China’s “Mirror of the Sky”, and its salt production can be used by the people of the country for about 75 years.
·There are many salt sculptures to watch in the scenic area, and you can also take a small train to the depths of the salt lake.
·Visitors can walk barefoot on the lake to watch and photograph their own reflections. If they are lucky, they can see the mirages formed on these rivers during the day.
·If it rains for several consecutive days, the salt layer in the lake may be diluted and dissolved, exposing the mud underneath, making it impossible to play in the lake.
·There are many small black holes in the salt lake. They are actually traps. Don’t step on them. The darker they are, the more dangerous they are.
