It was also rated as "one of the 55 places where life must go" by Tourism Geography magazine. So how to play Chaka Salt Lake? Today, our editor will provide you with a guide to Chaka Salt Lake.

The origin of the kingdom of the sky

As we all know, lake water has a strong reflection ability, so Chaka Salt Lake is like a mirror of the sky. Rich salt content is also a salt crystal formed after a period of time, and the static water surface above the crystal forms the most beautiful scenery. This natural landscape is rare in China, so it is called the land of the sky in China.

Pay attention to the trip to Chayan Lake

Chaka Salt Lake is also called Chaka or Dabsunnaoer. It is located near Chaka Town, Wulan County, Qinghai Province, about150km away from Qinghai Lake. Its best viewing season is June, September, 65438+ 10 or 165438+ 10, because the officials of Chaka Salt Lake Scenic Area have taken relevant measures to protect the ecology. Tourists are not allowed to go to the lake in July and August, but this is the season with the most tourists. Because during this period, the world glaciers in the salt lake area melted into lake water, and the water volume gradually increased, so there was a better scenery. Bian Xiao recommends June here, because there are relatively few tourists in June. At the same time, there was little rain in June, and the proportion of salt was significant. Compared with July and August, the lake is calmer and the effect is more obvious.

Choose a good day to play, blue sky and white clouds, and the background is beautiful. So you need to choose a suitable weather, such as sunny and windless. Because if the weather is bad, the reflection effect is not very good and the scenery is not good. You can take pictures before and after sunset, because this is the best time to take pictures. If you want to shoot the night sky in Chaka Salt Lake, I suggest you shoot the starry sky from the 23rd to 8th day of the lunar calendar.

In terms of clothes, you can choose clothes with bright colors, which have obvious color contrast with the scenery of Chaka Salt Lake and are very beautiful.

Chaka Salt Lake Scenery

Chaka Salt Lake is located at 36 degrees north latitude, and the land in plateau area is pollution-free. This unique natural environment can naturally make people clearly appreciate the vast beauty of the Milky Way. Coupled with the reflection of the lake, the starry sky and the lake seem to be integrated, and there will be a spectacular scene where the starry sky seems to be scattered on the lake. Therefore, the Chaka Salt Lake at night is called "the mirror of the night sky" in China.

Tea salt carving is also an interesting feature. Here you can see all kinds of scenery carved with salt.

The most attractive thing about Chaka Salt Lake is its railroad track leading to the center of the lake. In the last century, the gauge of railway track was only 60 cm, which is rare in the world at present. With the development of ship mining and shipping technology, inch gauge trains have been put into use. After the small train completed its industrial mission, it gradually moved away from salt lake technology, but the railway track left over from history crossed Chaka Salt Lake and formed a beautiful scenery with the lake. It has become a unique art. You can take a small train into the lake and overlook the beautiful lake view. Therefore, in the current Chaka Salt Lake tourism, taking a small train into the salt lake has become an indispensable tourism experience project.

Chaka Salt Lake at sunset became the most beautiful time in the salt lake landscape. Sunrise, sunset or colorful clouds in the sky are reflected on the salt lake, forming a beautiful picture of water and sky, which has also become one of the favorite scenery of many tourists.
