Why is Chaerhan Salt Lake the most expensive lake in China?

Nowadays, people regard tourism as a way of leisure and entertainment. Many people choose to travel to different areas during holidays, which can not only relieve the pressure of life and the boredom of work, but also accumulate a precious memory. Therefore, under such a wave of tourism, China's tourism industry has developed very rapidly, and various places have displayed their unique natural landscapes to attract tourists from all over the world.

China is a vast country with many spectacular and beautiful scenery. Nature created a salt lake in Qinghai. What I'm telling you today is that the most expensive lake in China has no signs of life, but its value is as high as 12 trillion! There is such a lake in China, which is rich in mineral resources. It is located in Qarhan Salt Lake in Qinghai.

Chaerhan Salt Lake, translated from the old saying in Inner Mongolia, means: salt pond, where many salt ponds gather together. This salt lake covers a total area of 5,856 square kilometers, spanning Golmud and dulan county. Hundreds of millions of years ago, due to the constant change of crustal movement, a basin was finally formed here. Besides, the weather here is dry and hot, which has shrunk for a long time. Water evaporates to form brine with relatively high concentration, and there is no limit to the salt crystal particles, thus slowly forming this huge salt pool. It is not only the largest lake in China, but also the most expensive lake in China.

The lake contains nearly 2 billion tons of inorganic salts, which can be used for 1000 years even if 6 billion people around the world use it at the same time. According to the current market price, the value of these inorganic salts is as high as 12 trillion! Today, it is one of the most important mining bases in China, and also the largest potash production base. Because brine is rich in minerals, magnesium, boron and lithium are all high, and the amount of potassium chloride accounts for 97% of the country. Because of the high salt content in Chaerhan Salt Lake, there are no living things in the lake, and even green plants are difficult to grow.

It is precisely because of this lifeless lake that our country and the people of China attach great importance to it. Due to the high salt content in Chaerhan Salt Lake, there are many salt flowers with different shapes growing in the lake. In fact, this is because brine presents different sizes of salt flowers because of different time and concentration during crystallization. It is precisely because these salt flowers decorate the lake beautifully, as if they were in a fairyland, so a large number of tourists come to Chaerhan Salt Lake every year to see the wonders of salt flowers.

What is the most famous here? Zhang Wan Salt Bridge? . This is the only bridge made of salt in the world. The bridge is 32 kilometers long. Its salt layer is so hard that cars can pass through it. The whole road surface is smooth and level, against the background of lake water and blue sky. This salt bridge is like one in the sky? Xianqiao? Generally speaking, it gives people a shocking visual feast.
