Come to Chaka Salt Lake and find the little train from Spirited Away!

Chaka Salt Lake lies quietly in the Qaidam Basin, which spans over 200,000 square kilometers, nestled between the Qilian Mountain range's Wanyan Tongbu Mountain and the Kunlun Mountain range's Wanggaxiu Mountain. It is a must-visit destination for self-driving tours in the great Northwest! To capture the beautiful scenery of Chaka Salt Lake in photos📸, you must check the weather. Only on a clear sunny day 🌞 can you capture the color of the sea and sky! ⚠️Special reminder: The salt lake is quite corrosive to shoes, and even with rubber shoe covers, some may still get damaged. If you don't want your precious shoes to become stiff, consider wearing more ordinary shoes when going down to the lake! ➡️Chaka Salt Lake has two scenic areas, one is the Mirror of the Sky, and the other is Sky No.1. It is said that the former is the one people usually visit, while the latter is newly developed and has added some entertainment facilities; ➡️Upon arriving at the scenic area, you first need to register with your real name and take a free shuttle bus to the entrance. After purchasing a ticket, there are three options: one is to take a small train back and forth to the end point (you can get on and off at the stations), the second is to take an electric cart for 800 meters to the square (the starting point of the scenic area), and the third is to walk the entire distance (it is estimated that walking the full round trip is about five or six kilometers, so if you're not physically fit, it's better to just take the train... after all, walking the whole way can be very tiring. ➡️The train has stops where you can get off to take photos. There are scenic area signs, some shaped objects, and old salt extraction facilities where you can also take a boat to look around. The lake's daytime appeal is its mirror-like reflection and transparency... It's best to wear white or light-colored clothes, and most of the rental costumes inside are red; ➡️Shoe covers‼️ are a must-rent, after all, walking on the lake surface is a part of the experience. You can rent and return them at each train stop. The rental fee is ten yuan and the deposit is fifty, which is really not expensive; it is recommended to start renting from the third stop, where there are more shapes; ➡️Sun! It's very sunny! Make all the necessary sun protection preparations; also bring sunglasses, as the white salt can be dazzling; ➡️The management of the scenic area is actually quite good. There are simple foods at the stations, as well as places for oxygen inhalation and first aid, and the ice cream looks good and tastes delicious;
