The First Stop in Northwest China|Chaka Salt Lake Family Trip Plog

For our family trip to Northwest China, the first stop was Chaka Salt Lake. Entering Chaka Salt Lake feels like stepping into a blue and white fairy tale world. Luckily, the sun was shining brightly, reflecting off the lake’s shimmering surface, creating a warm glow! If you want to explore quickly, you can take the vintage little train, leisurely traveling across the silver salt flats. The tracks stretch into the distance, resembling scenes from an animated movie. Watching the salt sculptures pass by outside the window, with a faint salty breeze, you can freely bask in the warm sunshine… After arriving, you’ll receive waterproof shoe covers so you can walk into the lake to play. This is the perfect time to take photos—every shot is stunning! 📷PS: To capture the mirror effect of the sky, you must wait for the lake to be calm. 📋Notes: 1. If bringing kids who want to play with the salt and sand, remember to wash their hands promptly. 2. Bring an extra set of clothes for the kids to change into if they get wet. ☀️Sun protection: The sun is strong, so be sure to use sunscreen and wear sunglasses.
