God's palette - Yanjing Millennium Ancient Salt Field.

Yanjing Millennium Ancient Salt Field 🌅 is a must-visit on the Yunnan-Tibet route to Tibet. This ancient salt field, with a history of 1,300 years, is the only place in China that still maintains the most original manual salt drying method. The salt fields are built on the mountain, and they are staggered and orderly, just like the eyeshadow palette of nature. Experience: Witness the whole process of salt farmers taking brine from the Lancang River, drying and concentrating, and then crystallizing into salt. Best time: It is recommended to go around 4 pm, when the light is soft and suitable for taking pictures. Food recommendation 🍽️: Try the butter tea made with local white salt and experience the unique flavor. Accommodation options 🏨: Hotels near Quzika Township or Naxi Ethnic Township in Yanjing Town, such as Mangkang Kawagebo Hotel, Tea Horse Ancient Road Hotel, etc., are convenient for going to the ancient salt field. Traffic guide 🚗 Self-driving: Drive along National Highway 214, with beautiful scenery along the way. Public transportation: Take a bus from Shangri-La or Deqin to Mangkang, and then transfer to Yanjing. Tips 💡 Tickets: 90 yuan/person, free in the off-season. Shooting suggestion: Bring a drone, overlook the salt field from the air, and the view is shocking.
