The 318 Sichuan-Tibet Highway is home to the breathtaking Mangkam Ancient Salt Fields.

🍁The Mangkam Ancient Salt Fields are the only place in the world that still uses the original method of sun-drying salt. With a history of over 1,300 years, the Naxi Township has dozens of natural salt wells, hundreds of salt workers, and over 3,000 salt fields. The salt fields stretch for miles along the east and west banks of the Lancang River, forming a beautiful layered landscape. 🍁The salt fields are a stunning sight along National Highway 214. Not only are they a great place to take photos, but they are also a hidden gem. The salt fields are a testament to the wonders of nature and the wisdom of humanity. The ancient salt fields lie quietly between the mountains and rivers of Mangkam. When the sun shines on them, the colorful salt fields glisten like magic, as if nature has spilled its palette. 🍁You can also see many villagers selling salt nearby, and there are free Tibetan villagers who will explain the salt fields to you. You can also see villagers working hard. The Mangkam Ancient Salt Fields are a miracle that has stood the test of time!
