The enchanting Chaka Salt Lake! It's so breathtakingly beautiful!

👋🏻 If you have a special fondness for salt lakes, then Chaka Salt Lake will definitely captivate your heart! 💖 💚 Chaka Salt Lake, with its vast expanse, is astonishing! 😲 It's like a huge mirror, pure white as snow, and its area is as big as 55 Chaka Salt Lakes! It's the second largest salt lake in the world and the largest in China! 👏🏻 📍 Its coordinates are in Chaka Town, Golmud City, Qinghai Province~ 🕓 The opening hours are 8:00-20:00, and the 🎫 ticket price is 100 yuan per person. 🗓️ The best time to visit is from June to October each year, when the climate is pleasant, and the sunshine is just right, allowing you to take in the beautiful lake water and surrounding scenery 😎. Especially in autumn, when the lake dries up and forms a red salt crust, the sight is truly spectacular! ✨ ✈️ As for transportation, first take a high-speed train/train/plane to Xining, and then drive or charter a car to Chaka Salt Lake (there is no public transportation here 😯). It is highly recommended to take a trip around the Qinghai-Gansu loop, where you can enjoy the plateau, snow-capped mountains, lakes, Yardang landforms, grasslands, deserts... The scenery is simply colorful, like God spilled a palette of paints 🎨! ✨ Here come the main attractions ✨ 💚 The Salt Bridge, which is a natural highway made of salt, is 32km long and 15-18 meters thick. Here you can enjoy the breathtaking view of the entire salt lake! 🤩 💚 Fantasy Island, on the small island in the center of the salt lake, there are various shapes of pianos 🎹, swings, exposed salt flowers, and other landscapes, which are super beautiful for taking pictures 📷. There is also a starry sky room on the island where you can experience the beautiful scenery of the stars and lake light reflecting off each other at night 🌌! 💚 The Ship of Salt, the iconic landscape of Chaka Salt Lake, the shape of the ship is made of salt crystals, like a huge ship sailing on the salt lake 🚢, super eye-catching! 👀 🔖 Precautions 📋 📌 The sunlight reflection on the salt lake is very strong, be sure to protect your skin and eyes 👁️! 📌 Do not step on or damage the salt crust at will, we must cherish this natural wonder! 🙏 📌 Chaka Salt Lake is located at an altitude of 2670 meters, so you may experience altitude sickness.
