The salt lake in autumn has a unique charm

The Chaka Salt Lake in autumn has a unique charm. The azure sky, the white clouds and the crystal-clear salt lake form a breathtakingly beautiful picture. The lake is vast, with shimmering silver waves. Distant mountains stand majestically. The blue sky, white clouds and snow-capped mountains are reflected in the lake, creating a picturesque scene.

The Chaka Salt Lake Scenic Area has been constantly upgrading and improving, creating salt sculpt-themed areas such as "Chaka's Enchanted Journey", "Ancient Salt Horse Road", and "Fairyland of the Jade Pool", and exploring diverse check-in scenarios to meet tourists' demands for taking photos during their travels.

The scenic area also implements a policy that allows multiple entries within 48 hours with a ticket, and innovates its cultural and tourism development model. By integrating local culture and salt industry history, it has launched interactive projects such as intangible cultural heritage handicrafts, NPCS performing plot tasks, and a series of study Tours.

Take the "Sky Mirror" tourist special train and embark on a spur-of-the-moment trip! On the mirror surface of Chaka Salt Lake, stroll among the clouds and capture your own autumn masterpieces.
