Chaka Salt Lake in China is the prototype of Spirited Away sea train in Japanese programs?

There is a small train at sea on Chaka Salt Lake in China, which is very similar to the segment of the train at sea in Mr. Miyazaki Hayao's cartoon Spirited Away, so that many people think that the framing (inspiration) of Spirited Away cartoon comes from Chaka Salt Lake. Actually, it's not. Mr. Miyazaki Hayao himself has never been to Chaka Salt Lake in Qinghai, and it is even more impossible to see the small train of Chaka Salt Lake in the era of Spirited Away's creation. The reason why there is such a saying is that my friends who have seen Spirited Away saw the scene in the cartoon in Chaka Salt Lake, and then associated it with framing (inspiration).

Mr. Miyazaki Hayao is a great animator, who has created many classic animations through his hands. Spirited Away is widely loved by anime fans. In this cartoon, there is a scene of riding a train, and the protagonist compares his life to a moving train. On this train, you will meet many fellow travelers, some may meet briefly, and some will stay all the time; And the wheels of a small train, just like our lives, will only move forward, not backward. Those passengers who get off the bus are as real as passers-by in our lives. This intentional description in animation is too realistic. To this day, many people still remember this scene clearly and use it as a reference for their lives.

Chaka Salt Lake in Qinghai is also a tourist attraction. In the process of development, it just created a scene similar to Spirited Away. Therefore, it is misunderstood by many fans that this is the real source of inspiration for animation, because these two scenes are so similar that people have to recognize such associations.

If you have friends who are interested in animation, you might as well take a walk in Qinghai Chaka Salt Lake, where you will surely bring back many good memories. Personally, I suggest coming here from June to July every year. You can see the white salt lake at this time, and only at this time is it neither too hot nor too cold, which is most suitable for sightseeing.
