Photographic route of Chaerhan Salt Lake in Qinghai Province

How amazing nature is. She not only gave us endless wealth, buried oil, but also gave us the power to soar on this magical planet.

The endless sea gives us delicious food and inexhaustible sea salt.

Nature has also brought us countless beautiful scenery, showing different beauty in every corner and in different seasons.

Nature not only gives us endless resources and beautiful scenery, but also does not require us to return anything.

China has a vast territory and abundant natural resources. In this land that has nurtured us for 5,000 years, all countries have always fought to the death for the wealth of resources endowed by nature.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in China, wars often occurred for the resources of some places in the Central Plains.

In Qinghai Province, China, there is one of the largest salt lakes in China-Chaerhan Salt Lake. It is by far the largest salt lake in China and the most valuable salt lake on the earth. The salt stored is enough for all mankind 1000 years.

In order to protect these resources, our country specially arranges troops to guard there.

Don't think that this salt lake is irrelevant. There is no need to send troops to guard. The existence of Chaerhan Salt Lake almost controls the lifeline of our people's daily diet. Based on this, Chaerhan Salt Lake should be the most thoughtful guardian.

Chaerhan stands for Salt Lake in Mongolian, and Chaerhan is also located in the core of Qaidam Basin in Qinghai Province. It also has a name called the heart of Qaidam.

Every beautiful place in the world has beautiful legends, and Chaerhan is no exception.

According to legend, in ancient times, Chaerhan was a region rich in materials, and it was precisely because of its treasures that countless people competed for them that the land was in flames of war and the people were miserable.

After the Queen Mother of the West knew about this incident, in order to quell the war, she flooded this place with Tianshui, and finally formed this huge salt lake that we see now.

Of course, this is just a folk story, and there are fairy tales about Chaerhan Salt Lake.

In fact, the real cause of Chaerhan Salt Lake is caused by crustal movement. Tens of thousands of years ago, the crustal movement separated the surrounding glaciers and formed a basin.

With the change of time, the former glaciers gradually melted and finally merged into the basin, gradually forming a big lake.

Because it doesn't rain here for a long time, the temperature is very high all year round. Under the irradiation of the sun, a lot of water evaporated, forming the salt lake we see today.

There is no doubt that Chaerhan Salt Lake is a gift from nature.

As the largest salt lake in China and the most valuable salt lake in the world, how much salt does Chaerhan Salt Lake have?

The salt in Chaerhan Salt Lake is mainly potassium salt, which is the most important producing area in the supply of edible salt in China. The salt content of the whole salt lake is as high as 50 billion tons.

According to experts' estimation, the salt in Chaerhan Salt Lake can be sold to1200 billion yuan at the market price.

In addition, the reserves of potassium chloride in Chaerhan Salt Lake are 97% of those in China. What is even more amazing is that if all the salt in Chaerhan Salt Lake is developed, it can be used by all mankind 1000.

We only know that nature has brought the Yangtze River and the Yellow River to industrious China and made the southern region rich.

We only know that nature has given vast forests and fertile land to the northeast, so that children in China will not go hungry.

However, we never thought that nature has given us such a big salt lake, so that our food will not lack flavor.

Such a high value of Chaerhan Salt Lake is unique and rare in this world. In order to protect this wealth, our country has sent troops to guard it for 24 hours.

Let this salt lake benefit Chinese descendants in the future and not fall into the hands of lawless people.

At present, the state has taken many protection measures near the salt lake and has been planning the sustainable development of the salt lake in various ways.

There is a road around Chaerhan Salt Lake, which spans the whole Chaerhan Salt Lake.

However, one of the characteristics of this highway is that it is closed to traffic, because the road surface is formed by the condensation of salt in Chaerhan Salt Lake. Seen from a distance, it looks like a smooth road.

With the continuous evaporation of water and the slowly formed salt cover in Chaerhan Salt Lake, the daily evaporation of water in this salt lake is dozens of times that of ordinary lakes.

When water evaporates, some salt will solidify into crystals on the lake. Over time, these salts will form a bridge, and the clever children in China will have a good idea.

They worked on these salt beds, so slowly they built a very special road.

In order to protect this hard-won salt channel, locals are not allowed to drive on it, and only browsing trains can pass by.

And if you are lucky enough to take a sightseeing train to browse, you will find very unique salt flowers on both sides of the road, which are crystallized from lake salt.

It is these flowers that make up this highway, which makes people lucky to enter the scenery inside Chaerhan Salt Lake.

As Aristotle said, every field of nature is wonderful.

Each of us is accepting the gift of nature, feeling the beauty and greatness of nature.

There are so many beautiful mountains and rivers that no art can match the beauty of nature.

As a member of the descendants of China, looking at this wonderful rivers and mountains, everyone is actually very excited.

Therefore, we should cherish nature, so that we can have a chance to let nature give us better gifts and make the environment of the earth better.
