It feels like stepping into a lucid dream 📷 Chaka Salt Lake is really a place that depends heavily on the weather~ When we first entered, it was completely overcast, and no matter how we took photos, none turned out well. Later, around five or six o'clock, the sky cleared, and we finally saw that sea-and-sky blend shown in the promotional pictures. We also finally understood why it's called the Mirror of the Sky 🪞—it's truly stunning! (Make sure to take Polaroids with the light behind you here; the best shots are on page 7.) 🚂 It's recommended to take the small train inside since the scenic area is quite large. We stopped at the first station for the salt sculptures and the last station. (At that time, I also saw on the Apple weather forecast that the sun would come out around five or six, and it was surprisingly accurate!!)
