Chaka Salt Lake, the emerald pearl on Earth! Full guide
God's scattered emeralds!
A few years ago, I took the Qinghai-Gansu loop, but due to limited time, Chaka Salt Lake was not included in the itinerary! But its beauty crazily swept across my screen, and I've been longing for it for a long time.
This year, I chose the Haixi route, starting from Golmud and ending at Huatugou🔚; to witness the unearthly beauty of Chaka Salt Lake!

Chaka Dream Salt Lake
This is the largest salt lake in China! It's more than 50 times the size of Chaka Salt Lake! Many people have only been to Chaka, but this is actually the most beautiful salt lake near Qinghai Lake, the real 'Sky Mirror'.

1️⃣The best spot for taking pictures is in the innermost part, don't just take pictures at the entrance, there are super beautiful salt lakes of various colors in the innermost part
2️⃣The lake water on both sides is different! Be sure to shoot from multiple angles
3️⃣Taking pictures by the shallow beach is also absolutely beautiful, it's like being on a fluorescent beach, one part is fluorescent yellow, the other part is fluorescent green
Qinghai tour is really different from other places, this is also the most salt lake I have ever seen in my life. Wanzhang Yanqiao, as the name implies, we are different to whether there is Wanzhang, just go to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
The Wanzhang Salt Bridge is located above the Cha'erhan Salt Lake in the southern Chaidamu Basin. The road is like a bridge floating on brine. It is a rare road bridge in the world and a wonder of the Chaidamu Basin. The whole road is directly paved by salt, the road and the edge can see all white flowers of salt, directly driving on the salt bridge, the scenery of the salt lake on both sides is very charming.
万丈盐桥位于柴达木盆地南部察尔汗盐湖之上,公路就像一座桥浮在卤水上面,是举世罕见的一种路桥,也是柴达木盆地的一大奇观,整个路都是由盐直接铺设而成的,路面和边沿能看到全是白花花的盐,直接行驶在盐桥上,两边盐湖的景色非常迷人。
西北风光无限好,真的是挺不错的呢
非常壮观的,用盐铺成的桥!
