Yulin | Dingbian Salt Lake, Shaanxi's eyeshadow palette

| Dingbian Salt Lake, Shaanxi's eyeshadow palette.🌟The first stop into Shaanxi after passing through Ningxia is Dingbian, where Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, and Inner Mongolia intersect. ♦In the northwest of the small town, there is a colorful salt field which is very special. It is the only salt production base in Shaanxi - Dingbian Salt Field. It's not as vast as Chaka Salt Lake, ♦but it's a series of colorful small squares. From the air, it looks like a palette on the land of Shaanxi. Its colors are like a colorful eyeshadow palette with pink, rose, coffee, gray algae and different mineral components, making different squares present different colors. ♦Because it has not been developed into a scenic area, so it is more natural and primitive, without a neat planning. But there are parking places and toilets, basically no tourists. ♦Low-key salt field's brilliant red history] The low-key Dingbian Salt Field, although few people know, but in history, it has a brilliant past. It started in 1941, built by the soldiers of the 359 Brigade. At that time, 620,000 loads of salt were produced a year, which strongly supported the financial situation of the border area at that time. 🌟The huge contrast between the air and the ground] When you come here, you must fly a drone. Only from the air can you feel its beauty and shock. If you just look from the ground, it's just a big pool with dirty water and piles of salt. But at sunset, with the setting sun as a backdrop, it should also be good. 💰Tour guide ticket: free 🚙Transportation: self-driving or take a taxi from Dingbian County 🕗Tour time: It's better to visit in the morning or evening. ❤Other: You can walk along the edge of the salt field, but the road is not very good, be careful.
