It happened to rain when I was traveling to Chaka Salt Lake. What kind of experience is this?

I like traveling. I have been to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and Chaka Salt Lake twice for many times, and one of them happened to encounter "rain". Let me talk about my feelings.

There are many lakes on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, such as Qinghai Lake, Namco, Yangzhuo Yongcuo, Crook Lake and Chaerhan Salt Lake. However, on the eastern edge of Qaidam Basin in Qinghai, there is a lake called "the mirror of the sky", which is Chaka Salt Lake. Chaka Salt Lake was rated as one of the 55 must-see places in life by the National Tourism Magazine.

Chaka Salt Lake is white and bright, clean as a huge mirror, reflecting the changing blue sky and white clouds on the lake. It is beautiful, but for the thin skyline, it really makes people inseparable from the world. However, the color of Chaka Salt Lake is not immutable. With the change of time, sunrise, sunset glow, starry sky, clouds and lake will be unpredictable.

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is very dry, and it is extremely rare to encounter rain, especially in Chaka Salt Lake. But when I went to Chaka Salt Lake twice, I happened to meet a "rain". I remember it was in the middle of September the year before last. Before entering the scenic spot, local friends looked at the sky and told me to put on more clothes and bring an umbrella. Here it comes. I looked at the sky, blue sky, white clouds, comfortable temperature, can it be changed? But what happened later told me that the prediction of local friends was correct.

Entering the scenic spot by train, the beautiful "mirror of the sky" appears in front of you, and the blue sky and white clouds are reflected on the lake, which is beautiful. In a flash, I don't know where a large dark cloud came from, gathered together and pressed over. The sky and the lake turned gray-black, which made people feel scared. It's raining hard and the wind is strong, so the blower can't stand steadily and the umbrella can't hold up at all. Several people's umbrellas were blown away by the wind. I don't know when the rain turned into ice particles, which stung my face and the temperature dropped a lot instantly. Thanks to the thick clothes our local friends asked us to bring, it would be miserable. People scrambled to find shelter from the wind and rain. And I ran out of the scenic spot in a panic and escaped from the "mirror of the sky"

Just out of the scenic spot, the wind suddenly stopped and the dark clouds disappeared. Looking back, where is the beautiful "mirror of the sky"? Blue sky, white clouds, water and sky are the same color, which is fascinating and unpredictable.

This is my experience. If friends have different experiences, please share more and comment more.

Tip: The best tourist season in Chaka Salt Lake is from June to September. The plateau climate is changeable, so take more clothes just in case. If you want to take a photo with the mirror of the sky, you'd better prepare some gorgeous clothes, which will look good.

I went there in August this year. It was cloudy when I first arrived, but it cleared up after a while. I am very lucky.

I went to Chaka Salt Lake in late August and early September last year, and it was raining in Mao Mao. It's been raining. People say I didn't see the mirror of the sky, but I don't have any regrets. I think it is a challenge to drive 1300 km from Taiyuan, Shanxi Province to Chaka Salt Lake by myself, so I have no regrets. I'll drive again when I have the chance. I think it's raining. It's rainy. It's actually a different kind of scenery. After leaving Chaka Salt Lake, I lived in Qinghai Lake and watched the sunrise and sunset. The scenery is also very good. Below I send some photos of my visit to Chaka Salt Lake and Qinghai Lake. You can have a look. I hope you have the opportunity to visit Chaka Salt Lake and Qinghai Lake. The scenery is really good, whether it rains or not.

It rained when I went to Chaka Salt Lake. I can only describe it as "unlucky".

Under normal circumstances, the beauty of the "mirror of the sky" in Chaka Salt Lake can only be seen under clear, windless and shallow water conditions. If it rains, the lake will become dirty and unstable. In the scenic spot, it is probably like a big fish pond, and there is nothing to see. As a result, the ticket money was basically wasted. Going in and out by train costs more 100 yuan, but you can't see the beautiful scenery just by spending money.

In addition, in Chaka Salt Lake on rainy days, the temperature will be very low and the weather will be biting cold. If you don't wear enough clothes, you will catch a cold by accident. So, remember to bring a thick coat or overcoat before going to Chaka Salt Lake. The weather there is also quite cold in the morning and evening. If it rains, it will be even colder. You can't ignore the cold.

Finally, the weather in Chaka Salt Lake is quite changeable. It may rain in the morning and clear up in the afternoon, or it may rain today and clear up tomorrow. So if it rains for a while, people who want to see the beauty of tea cards can stay around for one more day, and when it clears up, there will be no regrets.

Why did I come? Why did I come to this gravel yard? Where is the sky I want? Go to Emerald Lake next door!

I'm glad to answer your question.

It can be said that it is very unlucky to go to Chaka to catch up with the rain, because most salt lakes are natural crystalline salts, which sometimes refract sunlight. If it is cloudy and the brightness is not strong enough, the scenery you see will naturally be greatly reduced. The so-called "mirror of the sky" is definitely invisible. A friend who cares more can really make a trip for nothing!

It happened to be sunny when I went, and the ultraviolet radiation in the northwest was very strong in summer. Because the sun protection measures were not taken in time, the skin was injured two days later, so it was also very painful to visit a tea card on a sunny day. When I arrived at Yuhu Lake in Dachaidan, it was also a great salt lake that caught the rain. The cloudy sky messed up the scenery of the salt lake. Fortunately, Jade Lake is green, which is not too disappointing.

Share a photo trick with my friends who support me. When you meet a tea card in rainy days, you can use a black-and-white filter or a lake as the background. The red scarf or red skirt worn by the characters can remain red, and this effect can be photographed with the Apple mobile phone. If you are interested, you can study the shooting method yourself or post-produce. That's what my friend did, and it worked well.

Especially remind those friends who have never been to the northwest that they must bring a red skirt or buy a long scarf, which is sold everywhere in the local area. Note that scenic spots are expensive. I bought it on the way, and I happened to pass a market when I had breakfast. The long scarf I bought is very cheap.

Chaka Salt Lake is the most beautiful in sunny days, and the reflection of blue sky and white clouds can bring the beauty of Chaka Salt Lake to the extreme.

So we saw the beautiful Chaka Salt Lake, most of which are sunny Chaka Salt Lake. The two mountains near Chaka Salt Lake are covered with snow all year round, and the snow-capped mountains are reflected on the lake, forming a unique natural scenery of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau where water and sky intersect and the salt lake and snow peaks complement each other. The beautiful mirror of the sky can only show such a beautiful scenery when the sun is shining.

Some people say that Chaka Salt Lake is beautiful and worth appreciating. Some people say that the scenery of Chaka Salt Lake is generally disappointing, and it is even a "pothole".

Why is this happening? The main reason is the different weather. If Wan Li is clear, or there are blue sky and white clouds, Chaka Salt Lake is beautiful. If the weather is gloomy or rainy, the scenery of Chaka Salt Lake is very general. Therefore, it is very important to visit Chaka Salt Lake and meet a good weather. Of course, most people like to add filters to photos now, or maybe filters make the beauty of Chaka Salt Lake more beautiful.

Go to Chaka Salt Lake to play, it just rains, and the mood will be really bad! Therefore, before we go to play, we should check the weather forecast in advance and choose good weather to travel. Don't be too disappointed if it happens to rain when you go to Chaka Salt Lake. Chaka Salt Lake is beautiful on sunny days. You like the scenery on sunny days, but you should also accept the Chaka Salt Lake on rainy days. Although rainy days are not so beautiful, they have a unique charm.

If it rains in Chaka Salt Lake, it probably won't have any good effect! I went to bonneville Salt Marsh! It's not easy to use when there is wind, let alone rainy days! No wind on a sunny day is the best effect of covering.

I went on a cloudy day and didn't meet sunny Wan Li. It seems that Chaka Salt Lake is a stinking salt ditch. I suggest you do a good job in weather strategy, otherwise you will be disappointed.

The beauty of tea card needs the right time, the right place and the clear weather, and then you need to discover beauty. If it happens to catch up with bad weather, there is nothing to do but say that tea cards have no fate. However, the changeable weather on the plateau is really unfavorable to the weather forecast. Generally, visitors who enter the tea card try to go to the middle of the lake with few people and beautiful scenery, and they can get free tickets.

In addition, Jade Lake in Dachaidan, Qinghai is also beautiful. You can visit me in Qinghai for free.
