Emerald Lake has many colors, and tourists without drones are usually concentrated in the sky blue lake to take pictures, and tourists here are also the most. In fact, the emerald-colored lake is the big love, this colored lake is not surprising in the flat ground, but the drone perspective is completely different and very amazing. The beauty angle is the drone to shoot, people lie on the white salt ground, but the salt water here is particularly corrosive, be sure to pay attention.
Dachaidan Emerald Lake is located in Dachaidan Town, Dachaidan Administrative District, Haixi Mongolian and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province. It is a unique salt lake style of Dachaidan. It belongs to the magnesium sulfate subtype salt lake with an area of 15 square kilometers. It is an undeveloped virgin landscape. It is also one of the most representative local attractions, the salt lake is composed of halides (water) and minerals (crystalline) after the development of the mineral resources. Because of metal elements and halides such as potassium magnesium lithium, salt bed or light green, emerald green or deep blue alternate, and the lake salt flower color to be green and radiant emerald pastoral, so called emerald lake.
Qinggan Dahuan Line 7 Station 📍 Emerald Lake was originally a mining area of the Salt Lake Mining Team of Dachaidan Chemical Factory. Because the lake is clear and blue in the sun, the color is like jade, so it is named "emerald lake". The Emerald Lake is calm and calm, and the lake is scattered like a mirror. The water reflects the blue sky and white clouds and the snow peaks of Chaidamu Mountain. It is suffocatingly beautiful and can only be deeply felt in it. PS: Personal experience, it is a small train transportation bus, 60 back and forth, direct to the innermost, and then one stop and one stop to sit outside. Because all the terraces have no sunshade, you must pay attention to sun protection. If you only play the outside, you can not take the small train and walk. In fact, the lake seems to look like this.
The Great Chaidan Lake of about 6 square kilometers is green. It is called "emerald lake" by the local image, yellow green, dark green, blue green, deep blue...the depths are different, the levels are clear, the cross is wrong, like a mirror-like lake, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds and snow peaks. The scenery you see on the Emerald Lake may be different every time, even every day, due to the weather, rainfall and evaporation.
Everyone's graduation trip always wants to go to beautiful places, and for beautiful places, the weather is very important, especially the northwest of the motherland, if you like me in the graduation trip to the Emerald Lake is a cloudy day, do not be discouraged, Because the overcast Emerald Lake is also very beautiful, the current Emerald Lake has been upgraded from a free attraction to a paid scenic spot, and after entering, I will recommend everyone to take a small train. In fact, my personal suggestion is not necessary to take a small train. The distance is not very far. Like Chaka Salt Lake, slowly walking and watching nature, you can also walk down the lake where you want to go, but everyone must pay attention to their own safety protection, and do not pollute the environment. Especially if you apply very thick sunscreen, then go down to be extra careful to come to the Emerald Lake sun protection is must be prepared, sunglasses should also be prepared, otherwise even on cloudy days, your eyes and skin will be hurt
Dachaidan Emerald Lake is located in Dachaidan Town, Dachaidan Administrative District, Haixi Mongolian and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province.
