The yacht marina covers an area of approximately 91,793 square meters. The newly opened navigation channel is about 960 meters long, 40 meters wide and 2 meters deep. It is merged into the original industrial salt mining channel, forming an eastern industrial lake tour and sightseeing route. The distance from the yacht marina to the lake center pier is approximately 3.7 kilometers, with a width of 50 meters and a depth of 2.5 meters. Taking a yacht tour on the artificial canal where the brine concentration is seven times that of seawater and four times that of Qinghai Lake water offers a different kind of charm compared to riding the waves in the river or sea. The double-blade rotary salt mining vessel is used for mining, the centrifugal vessel for separation, and the barge for transportation. The scene of spraying water, spitting out pearls, and scattering silver and gold during salt mining is particularly spectacular and colorful. Taste it. The flavor is slightly different from that of salt.

Chaka Salt Lake is renowned for its abundant production of "big green salt". Up to now, it has a mining history of over 3,000 years and is still being exploited. During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Chaka salt was dispatched to the inland areas to support the frontline. In the 1950s and 1960s, to support the construction of New China, salt industry workers from all over the country jointly built the salt production line of New China. After 2008, the scenic area began to innovate the revitalization and utilization of industrial heritage on the basis of protection, showcasing industrial heritage such as the century-old salt-mining railway tracks, train heads and transport bins, and power facilities. It also developed a 4.8-kilometer rail-mounted sightseeing train using the century-old railway tracks and launched salt lake cruise Tours using the 4.7-kilometer salt-mining waterway, fully demonstrating the industrial culture of the scenic area. Taking a cruise on the artificial canal of the salt lake, you can directly feel the industrial heritage, experience the busy scene of the first-class salt lake mining vessels in China, and feel the thousand-year-old salt mining history of Chaka Salt Lake.

tips: There are currently 10 cruise ships in Chaka Salt Lake, including 1 large cruise ship that can accommodate 40 people and 9 11-seat speedboats. The ticket price for the cruise ship is 90 yuan. In the last century, for the convenience of salt mining, salt workers used explosives and manual labor to dig a salt lake waterway on the salt lake, which has been in use until now.
