The reclining Buddha salt sculpture is very eye-catching. A kind-faced giant Buddha lies sideways in a crystal white salt pool, with his eyes slightly closed and one hand on his abdomen, looking particularly peaceful. Salt carving is a sculpture art after sand carving, ice carving and clay carving. The technology is basically similar to that of sand carving, using techniques such as piling, digging, carving and digging. The only difference is that sand carving uses sand and water, while salt carving uses salt and brine. Its charm lies in the artistic wonders displayed through innovative and unique artistic techniques using pure natural raw salt and brine as raw materials. The Salt Lake is probably the first of its kind in China to create large-scale salt sculptures outdoors, achieving the perfect combination of salt and sculpture art and setting a world record for the largest outdoor salt sculpture art group in the world. These salt sculptures show their vicissitudes of life in the desolation. These salt sculptures use a total of 7,104 tons of salt, setting a world record for the largest outdoor salt sculpture art group in the world by the World Records Association.
