Today's Check-in | The Chaka Salt Lake is stunningly beautiful

📝The super detailed guide to Chaka Salt Lake is here! A must-see! Make sure to check the weather before going to Chaka Salt Lake, as the scenery on sunny days and cloudy days is worlds apart. 📌About the attractions: There are two spots at Chaka Salt Lake, and , and there is some distance between them. 🔸Mirror of the Sky: This is the old scenic area, the classic choice for most tourists, focusing on natural landscapes. 🔹Sky No.1: A popular tourist spot developed in recent years, featuring some amusement facilities. 📌Entering the attraction process: After arriving at the scenic area, follow these steps: 1️⃣Purchase tickets: You can buy them on-site at the second-floor visitor center, or purchase in advance below, make sure to choose the right attraction. Tip: People from Zhejiang province have free admission. Ticket purchase will involve package deals, see the guide below for details. 2️⃣Scan the code to register, then take the free shuttle bus to the entrance of the salt lake. First, go to the second-floor visitor center, register, and then follow the instructions to go downstairs to the blue bus stop to queue for the shuttle. 3️⃣Arriving at the spot: After reaching the main gate of the salt lake scenic spot, there is still a distance to the salt lake itself, and there are three options: 【Option One】Walk all the way in. 【Option Two】Take an electric cart to the entrance of the salt lake where the salt sculptures are, then walk into the salt lake, electric cart ticket is 5 yuan/person. 【Option Three】Buy a train ticket, round trip is 108 yuan. My suggestion is to choose 【Option Two】, which has the best value for money. The salt lake is not as far as the staff say, and it's fun to walk and play along the way. The train offers limited views, and there's a long wait of 1-2 hours to board, plus you'll be exposed to the sun for a long time. 📌Salt Lake Tour Guide (taking Mirror of the Sky as an example): 📍Mirror of the Sky is divided into the following stations: 🔸First Station: Mirror of the Sky Square, featuring large salt sculptures. 🔸Second Station: Sky Path Reflection Station. 🔸Third Station: Sky Horizon Joy Station: First, it's the place to rent shoe covers and buy special salt lake ice cream. Shoe covers are a must, 10 yuan, and you can't use your own disposable shoe covers or go barefoot in the water. Important: This expense can't be spared, otherwise your shoes will be damaged by the salt water, and it's not good for your feet. Second, the Mirror of the Sky check-in point is here. Third, many tourists play and take photos in the water here. 🔸Fourth Station: Mirror Clear Water Station, where the water is mint green, and there's a popular photo spot, super beautiful for pictures. 📝Tips: 1. Scarves and sunglasses are very photogenic for pictures. 2. Pay attention to sun protection, it's very sunny! 3. There's a small cabin outside the scenic area where you can get a free pack of edible salt made from Chaka Salt Lake (I didn't know at the time, found out later, missed out). 4. It's recommended to go in the evening, it's not hot, and you can watch the sunset. 5. The altitude here is quite high, some people may start to experience altitude sickness, be prepared with medicine or oxygen bottles in advance.
