Enter the sky: encounter the fantasy and wildness of Uyuni

In Bolivia in South America, there is a small town favored by nature - Uyuni. Not only are there fascinating natural wonders here, but also a unique food culture, waiting for every traveler who loves exploration to come and uncover its mystery. Uyuni Salt Flats: The Fantasy Spectacular of the Sky Mirror The Uyuni Salt Flats is the largest salt flat in the world and is known as the "Mirror of the Sky". During the rainy season, the accumulated water covers the salt marsh, and the calm lake surface is like a huge mirror, perfectly reflecting the sky and clouds. It seems as if you are in a dreamy mirror world, unable to distinguish between heaven and earth. During the dry season, the salt marsh appears as a white salt plain, as if covered with a thick layer of snow. Under the sunlight, the salt crystals sparkle, vast and pure. Train graveyard: the story of industrial relics Once upon a time, the railway here was responsible for transporting salt and metal mines. With the collapse of local industry, the trains were abandoned, forming today's train cemetery. The rusty trains lie quietly in the desert, their bodies full of traces of time, and the graffiti add a touch of artistic color to them. Standing next to these abandoned trains, you can seem to hear the roar of past industrial prosperity and feel the vicissitudes of history. Cactus Island: A miracle of life in a desert oasis Cactus Island is located in the center of the salt marsh. The island is covered with huge cacti. They take root and grow here, forming a unique life landscape in the salt marsh. Hiking up the island, you can not only watch the cacti of various shapes up close, but also overlook the magnificent scenery of the entire salt lake and feel the tenacious vitality of nature. Red Lake: A Pink Paradise for Flamingos The Red Lake is located at an altitude of more than 4,600 meters and has an attractive red color due to the red algae growing in the lake. This is also the habitat of flamingos. Flocks of flamingos are either foraging gracefully or soaring with their wings spread. Their red and white figures, the red lake and the blue sky form a beautiful picture that is intoxicating. Recommended restaurants - Minuteman Pizza: Located inside the Toñito Hotel, it offers a friendly and convivial atmosphere. The signature dish is delicious pizza with a crispy crust and rich fillings. There are special flavors such as exotic mushroom pizza. You can also choose a variety of ingredients to make your own pizza according to your preferences, and there are also fresh and delicious salads. - Railway Cafe - Bistro: This restaurant is charming, full of history and has a lovely atmosphere. Offering a variety of delicious dishes, breakfast includes eggs, porridge, cereals and fresh fruit. Quinoa risotto is a popular dish here. It is fragrant and soft, perfectly presenting the mellow taste of quinoa. - Longmen Restaurant: It is always a pleasure to taste the flavors of home in a foreign country. Longmen Restaurant is such a place where Chinese tourists can find familiar flavors. There are rich varieties of Chinese food here, whether it is fresh and fragrant stir-fried dishes or steaming noodles, they can comfort the stomachs of travelers.
