July and August are the tourist peak seasons of Chaka Salt Lake, and 11-April is the off-season. When you go to the scenic spot in summer, the climate is comfortable, but the temperature difference between morning and evening is not big. It is more likely to prepare thin down jackets and long-sleeved summer clothes, and it is also required to keep warm and protect from the sun. The surrounding hotels and restaurants will be open, and the small trains in the saltworks will also start to operate. However, there are so many recyclers that they need to take a small train to take pictures in a little place, and the cost of accommodation and transportation will increase in the peak season. Go to the scenic spot in winter and spring. There are fewer tourists, transportation and accommodation will be more convenient, accommodation and other expenses will be less, and there will be more sunny days, but there will be strong winds, dry climate, cold, super cold and super cold.

In fact, Qinghai is summer except winter, and the remaining seasons are basically similar to winter or summer. If Debbie wants to take photos in Chaka Salt Lake, the best time to play must be determined by the light, weather and shooting props.

1. Suitable month: The thawing time of Qinghai's surface is in April, so you can visit the salt lake before April-March, but the most suitable month is July and August. In winter, you can take photos in the morning or evening, and the wind is a little strong.

2. Suitable weather: No matter when you go, the bad weather is a landscape painting, and the effect of the film is not obvious.

3. Suitable lighting: it is not suitable for going at noon. At noon, the sun is dazzling, and it is not bad in the morning, evening and sunny night.

4. Appropriate breeze: If the wind is too strong, there will be waves on the lake, and the reflection effect is not good.

5. Appropriate amount of water: you want the effect of a mirror. In addition to fewer water ripples, the surface of the salt lake is also shallower. What has not crossed the calf or even the knee is mud, and people are also stagger, preferably the water that has not crossed the foot. Travel guide

1. Accommodation

There are many guest houses, hotels, hotels and youth tours in Chaka town. If the budget is sufficient, it is recommended to stay in a hotel. At present, there are more than 31 shops in Qinghai Lake.

There are three old hotels in Chaka Town, namely Qingyan Hotel, Business Hotel and Salt Lake Hotel. Qingyan Hotel is the best in comparison. The off-season standard room costs about 151 yuan, and travel agencies usually arrange tourists here. Last year, 21+ hotels were opened here, with moderate grades. Those who want to shoot the starry sky can stay in the official youth tour in the scenic spot.

2. Catering

There is no food in Chaka Salt Lake Scenic Area, and there are only Muslim noodle restaurants and Sichuan restaurants outside. There is a Tuoquan restaurant near the intersection of Chaka Town. Their dry mixed noodles taste ok, and so does a dumpling restaurant next door to the store on the left. There is a Sichuan restaurant on the right of Qingyan Hotel, which tastes ok. The friends who can't eat spicy food ask the boss to put less red pepper. However, many restaurants were opened here last year, such as Yisheng Casserole House, Xiguan Beef Noodles, etc. The taste is much better.

3. Public toilets

Actually, going to the toilet in Chaka Salt is also a very troublesome thing, but don't worry. After coming out of the salt lake, there is a small gate between Tuoquan Restaurant and Qingyan Hotel. There is a public toilet here, which costs 1 yuan. Compared with the dry toilets around Qinghai Lake, the environment here is much better.
