The quality of salt produced from here is quite good and unbelievably pure. There are more than 100 large and small salt lakes in Qinghai, and the salt from one of the larger lakes is enough for the world to use for decades and centuries, making salt lake resources the number one resource in Qinghai, ranking first in the country.
