The palette of nature

▼Chaka Salt Lake is the treasure pot hidden in the heart of the Qaidam Basin, an almost undeveloped fairyland, a mirror of the sky that is so beautiful it's indescribable. For thousands of years, it has coexisted with the towering Kunlun Mountains and the vast Gobi Desert, where grandeur and beauty coexist. When you step into it, the air seems to be filled with a salty taste, and what you see is the crystal-clear white salt flowers, shining with a warm and jade-like luster under the sun. Location: 60 kilometers north of Golmud City, Qinghai Province The emerald-like green color looks blue up close. The salt flowers and salt bridges of Thousand Islands shine with visible beauty under the sunlight. Cars are not allowed in, you need to take a shuttle bus for 100/person and a sightseeing car for 20/person. Shooting suggestions: The light is better in the morning or at noon, and it is easy to shoot against the light in the afternoon. There are photo spots such as water piano, swing, dead tree pavilion, starry tent and various viewing platforms. Note: The salt lake water is corrosive, avoid direct contact! The sun is fierce, so be sure to do a good job of sun protection! Remember to take measures against altitude sickness before you go.
