Photographic works after sun and rain

Chaka Salt Lake, with an average elevation of 3059 meters, is a beautiful salt lake with high altitude. In addition to the famous mirror of the sky, there are four major landscapes in Chaka Salt Lake photography, namely: first, the mirror of the sky, the blue sky reflected on the lake; Second, the mirror of snow-capped mountains, the beautiful scenery of snow-capped mountains and salt lakes; Third, the mirror of the rainbow, the picture of the rainbow crossing the lake; Fourth, the mirror of sunrise, watching the beautiful sunrise in Chaka Salt Lake.

Chaka Salt Lake has changed from an ordinary salt-producing town to a famous scenic spot at home and abroad, and the reputation of "mirror of the sky" has played a very important role. Most people who travel to Chaka Salt Lake come to take a beautiful picture of the "mirror of the sky", but they can't always take a picture of the "mirror of the sky".

Then, under what circumstances can we shoot the "mirror of the sky", which must have a particularly important premise, that is, the weather and the color of the lake in Chaka Salt Lake are consistent with the color of the sky. If it is a clear blue sky, the lake will show the mirror of the sky you see in other people's circle of friends. On the contrary, if it rains, the lake is gray, without the color and transparency of the mirror of the sky at all.

The world only knows the "mirror of the sky", so many people wear red clothes and take pictures with red scarves for the mirror-like reflection effect. But if Chaka Salt Lake only has the effect of blue sky reflection, then many scenic spots in the country can do it. Why did you come to Chaka Salt Lake to shoot the mirror of the sky?

In fact, in Chaka Salt Lake, there are actually at least four scenic spots that can be photographed, and there are many scenic spots that cannot be photographed in other places. The most typical one is the "Mirror of Snow Mountain". Because the average elevation of the lake in Chaka Salt Lake is 3059 meters, it is already in a high altitude area, and the surrounding area of Chaka Salt Lake is Wanyan Tongbu Mountain, a branch of Qilian Mountain, and Wangga Xiushan Mountain, a branch of Kunlun Mountain, both of which are above 4000 meters above sea level. It snows all the year round, and when the weather is fine, the snow-capped mountains are reflected on the lake, which is a unique "mirror of snow-capped mountains" in Chaka Salt Lake.

The Tarim Basin in Wulan County, where Chaka Salt Lake is located, has diverse climate changes. At the same time, it may be cloudy and rainy in the first half hour, and the sun will penetrate the clouds in the second half hour, scattering golden brilliance. Under such climatic conditions, it is easy to form solar rain, and the probability of rainbow appearing in solar rain is extremely high.

So don't worry about the weather when you take pictures in Chaka Salt Lake. Often rainy weather, especially shower weather, will bring more beautiful paintings than when the sky is blue. The scene of this painting is called "rainbow mirror". Rainbow mirror is more likely to appear, usually after 3 pm to dusk, and after showers and solar rain. Of course, if you are lucky, you can see the complete rainbow across the lake.

Many people think that the most beautiful sunrise occurs on the west side of Qinghai Lake, especially in Heimahe Township, which is why the humble tent hotel along the lake in Heimahe Township is more expensive than the modern building hotel in the town.

In fact, during the trip around Qinghai Lake, the sunrise and sunset in Chaka Salt Lake are also beautiful. Only because of the opening hours of the scenic spot, few people photographed the sunrise of Chaka Salt Lake. Where Chaka Salt Lake Scenic Area is located, you can't see the sunset on the lake, but you can also see the beautiful picture of the sunset reflected on the lake. This is also a rare painting scene in your life.

In short, you overcame altitude sickness all the way to Chaka Salt Lake at an altitude of 3059 meters. You should not only have the concept of "the mirror of the sky". The snow-capped mountains around the lake, the beautiful sunset and the common rainbow will bring you four beautiful scenery: the mirror of snow-capped mountains, the mirror of rainbow, the mirror of sunrise and the mirror of the sky.
