Tibet Salt Fields with Red and White Like a Giant Eyeshadow Palette

On both sides of the Lancang River in Mangkam, Tibet, unique salt fields are distributed. The west bank's red soil produces red salt, while the east bank's yellow soil produces white salt. Viewed from the air, the salt fields are staggered like a giant eyeshadow palette, with vivid colors, creating a spectacular sight. Here, the thousand-year-old traditional hand-salting technique is used, preserving the vibrant colors. The red salt resembles the earth's lifeblood, and the white salt looks like fragments of the sky, full of both natural and cultural charm. Visitors can not only enjoy the unique two-colored salt field landscape but also experience the heritage and allure of ancient craftsmanship. Come to Mangkam, Tibet, and check in at this most luxurious "eyeshadow palette" to appreciate the wonders of nature and human wisdom!
