The Chaka Salt Lake is on the west side of Qinghai Lake, on the edge of the Qaidam Basin. The Qaidam Basin is the only one of the four major basins in China that is on the "first step of the ladder", with an average elevation of about 3,500 meters above sea level. Here from the Qinghai Lake is almost 220 kilometers or so, but between the two, you need to cross an altitude of nearly 4300 meters of "rubber mountain". This time we went to Chaka before the local guide, the thick and simple Tibetan boy Ermao warned us in advance, and gave us each a piece of chocolate, said that eating the chocolate he gave, can effectively resist plateau reaction. I don't know because this chocolate is really enlightened, or because of the psychological effect, the car in nearly 4000 meters of high mountain highway driving time, really did not feel too much of a high reaction.
The time difference between Chaka and our region of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is about 2 hours. The afternoon more than two o'clock arrived at Chaka, it is the hottest time of the day, ultraviolet rays are particularly strong. I am because of this tour process, because too excited and forget to wear sunscreen equipment, the result of half a day down, feel as if to go to Africa on a trip like. The sun ah ......
The salt lake is very big, bigger than we can imagine. It is divided into five scenic spots according to different areas and characteristics. Ermao told us, under normal circumstances, only need to visit the first scenic spot on the line. Because the first scenic spot "the most beautiful scenery" "content" and so on. The other scenic spots are almost all later expansion, the content is relatively monotonous, the layout of the exhibition area is also plagiarized the first scenic spot suspected.
Then Ermao also made a special reminder, "to Chaka to come, it is best to wear brightly colored clothes, especially red, taken out of the picture, that is a word, 'absolute'." Later facts proved that the lad said this, is right.
The salt lake is said to be a "lake", in fact, only with our southern paddy fields about the same, not deep, the water to the ankle side. Only the bottom of the foot stepped on, not mud, but serious "salt". So before going down to the salt lake, you have to buy a pair of special boots in the scenic area specially set up store, can go down.
By the scenic small train, soon arrived at the first scenic spot. Before the car stops, three middle-aged women, such as Lao Qian, will jump down quickly with the little girl in general, and run to the salt lake.
There are all kinds of posing facilities in the lake area, and they are generally placed in relatively good locations. As long as you want, here, how to shoot are good scenery. Most of the people we traveled with left their beautiful pictures in the best position in different directions. Think about it, it's a rare visit, and that's the way it should be.
But I didn't go down to the lake. First, because the lake is full of people, especially those Netflix points, a moment to find the time to take pictures. I'm not a photographer, I'm not a photographer, I'm not a photographer, I'm not a photographer. Thirdly, I really don't want to suffer under the sun. So I looked for a rest for the tourists in the shade, sit down, while resting, while taking pictures of the beautiful scenery here, but also good.

The Chaka Salt Lake is known as the "Mirror of the Sky". According to my understanding, the wide and large lake is like a mirror that reflects everything in the sky. Blue sky, white clouds, and even in the distance under the foothills of the many wind turbines, can find a clear reflection on the lake. This scene is really beautiful.
As for the pictures, I remember when I was playing in Chaka, I improvised a group of "Chaka Salt Lake" random shooting, and I will not repeat it here. (For those of you who need to see the photos, click on the blue font in front)
