What are the minority scenic spots worth visiting in Qinghai?

You asked the right person this question. I happened to travel to Qinghai some time ago and made a detailed strategy. Personally, I think the Xiaobao scenic spot in Qinghai is Chaerhan Salt Lake. Let me share my experience of going to Chaerhan Salt Lake in detail, hoping to help you.

Address of Chaerhan Salt Lake: Chaerhan Town, Golmud City, Haixi Mongolian and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture

Speaking of "the realm of the sky", I'm afraid you will only think of Chaka Salt Lake, but there is actually a salt lake with more beautiful scenery. It is 56 times as big as Chaka Salt Lake, picturesque but little known, and few people go! It's Chaerhan Salt Lake. The salt lake is very vast, with boundless desert and flat terrain, but it has formed a very strange scenery. The whole lake is like a newly reclaimed fertile soil, like fish scales and shells. It can be said that it is a good place to come here for sightseeing, taking photos and punching in!

Chaerhan Salt Lake is the largest salt lake in China and the second largest salt lake in the world. It is that most valuable lake in the world, with a total salt reserve of ov 50 billion tons, which can be eaten by 6 billion people in the world 1000. Chaerhan Salt Lake is 50 kilometers away from Golmud, and the thick salt layer on the lake is very hard. The Qinghai-Tibet Railway and a section of Golmud-Dunhuang Highway pass through here. It is a "salt bridge" floating on the brine, and the salt flowers on the lake are also called salt stalactites, which are very beautiful.

3. Features of scenic spots

Located between Kunlun Mountain and Qilian Mountain, the Qaidam Basin is famous at home and abroad as the "cornucopia" of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The heart of the Qaidam Basin is the famous Qarhan. Chaerhan Salt Lake is one of the largest natural salt lakes in the world. Its amazing rich salt resources and 32km-long unique landscape "Zhang Wan Salt Bridge" have made its name resound for more than half a century. Salt Lake is located on the vast Gobi Desert, with a total area of 5,856 square kilometers. Seen from a distance, it looks like a sea of Wang Yang.

Salt flower wonders

All the green plants in Chaerhan Salt Lake are difficult to grow, but they breed crystal clear and varied magic salt flowers. It is especially recommended that you come here to see different forms of salt flowers. From a distance, these salt flowers are like works of art carefully created by a master, especially beautiful and spectacular!

Salt flower is the name of beautiful crystal formed when salt is crystallized in salt lake. In the crystallization process of brine, because of different concentration, time and composition, strange salt flowers are formed. The salt flowers here are shaped like pearl corals, or pavilions, or like birds and beasts, standing in clusters in the salt lake, decorating the salt lake like a fairyland. Tens of thousands of domestic and foreign tourists come to see the wonders of salt flowers every year.

Zhang Wan Yan bridge

Entering Chaerhan Salt Lake, there is the saltiest salt channel on the thick salt layer. Expressway is like a bridge floating on salt water. The salt bridge is 32 kilometers long, spanning the whole salt lake, and is known as "Zhang Wan Salt Bridge".

Zhang Wan Salt Bridge is a section of highway from Golmud to Dunhuang, which passes through Dabson Lake. The salt cover with the thickness of15-18m forms a natural salt bridge with a total length of 32km, which can be transformed into an urban system, so people call it "Zhang Wan Salt Bridge". The road surface on the "Bridge" is smooth and flat, with mountains and lakes set each other off and beautiful scenery, so it can be called "chinese odyssey". A jade belt-like salt bridge (road) with no guardrail beside it, no pier below it and no running water. The whole road surface is smooth and straight, and the salt lake is divided into two by the salt bridge (road), which is amazing and has to be surrendered to the wisdom of human beings!

skill

In principle, only vehicles with visiting documents are allowed to register in the salt plant, so it is best to confirm whether you can drive into the plant when renting a car in Golmud, otherwise the so-called "ticket" may be taken away by the security guard at the door.
