With over 99+ comments in the Moments, the original photos are stunning, and this is definitely not abroad

I used to see the Great Northwest dominating my Moments feed! 🤗 I couldn't believe that there are lakes with such colors in China. Until I finally visited 🏝️ Chaka Salt Lake, the largest salt lake in China! It's eight times the size of the Tea Card Salt Lake‼️ Many people have only been to the Tea Card, but I want to say that Chaka Salt Lake is super, super beautiful 🥰 🔸 Chaka Salt Lake Photo Guide 🎈 1. The best spot for photos is deep inside, don't just take pictures at the entrance, inside there are super beautiful 🌈 multicolored salt lakes 2. The lakes on both sides are different! If you have a drone, make sure to capture the road 🛣️, one side is yellow and the other is green 💚 3. You can go to the edge of the shallow beach, where the fluorescent-colored beaches 🌊 are, one part is fluorescent yellow, another is fluorescent green, you can visit both 💓 🔸 Travel Tips 🎈 ✈️ Fly to Xining, then drive or hire a car 🚗 to Chaka Salt Lake (there's no public transportation), passing by Qinghai Lake, Tea Card Salt Lake, Xiaochaidan, and finally reaching Chaka Salt Lake. The scenery along the way is colorful, like God's palette was overturned 🎨 🔸 Preparation for the trip 🎈 1. Sun protection! Hydration! Otherwise, your skin will get dark, cracked, and you'll get nosebleeds in just a few days‼️ 2. For those who like postcards 💌, the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang, the Shazhou Night Market, and the Jiayuguan City Wall all have scenic date stamps, commemorative stamps, and postage cards for sale, don't miss out. 3. The temperature difference between morning and evening is huge, and it's windy! Warm clothing such as windbreakers is essential 🔸 Food Recommendations 🎈 Since there's a lot of time spent on the road, it's recommended to check out the food in Dunhuang Jingyuan Gaoliu delicious lamb 🥩, Poplar Braised Pancakes, Cumin Lamb Chops 🐏, Leek and Egg, this restaurant is super popular 🔥 It's suggested to get a number an hour and a half in advance, then go for a stroll in the night market before coming back to eat, City Edge Barbecue, Wei Jin Salt Fried Meat, Jiayuguan Roasted Lamb, Fresh Fruit Yogurt, Milk Egg Fermented Rice Wine 🤗 🔸 Northwest China Travel Route Recommendations ⛱️D1 Everywhere — Xining ⛱️D2 Xining — Qinghai Lake — Qaidam Basin — Delingha ⛱️D3 Delingha — 315 — Water Yadan — Xitaijiner Lake — Dachaidan/Delingha ⛱️D4 Dachaidan — Jade Lake — Sky No.1 — Tea Card ⛱️D5 Tea Card — Golden Silver Beach — Atomic City — Xining ⛱️D6 Departure and return 🔸 Seeing the fluorescent green salt lake 🏝️ with my own eyes, under the sunlight 🌞 it's crystal clear, sparkling with diamond brilliance 💫💫💫 💚 Several layers of green, it's really too beautiful! My friends in the Moments can't believe I'm in China! 🤗🤗 A once-in-a-lifetime must-visit to the Great Northwest!
