Chaka Salt Lake: A Must-Visit Spot in Ulan

From the south of Lake Qinghai, we went to the popular photo spot in Ulan - Chaka Salt Lake, which is 3059 meters above sea level! 💙 The drive takes about 3.5 hours, and the scenery along the way is already the beginning of the journey ~ After arriving at Chaka Salt Lake, do not miss the super fantastic little train🚂, from the Sky Mirror Station all the way to the last station, there are several stops to get off the train to take pictures, but if you want to slowly chill and play more, it is recommended to stay there for another day! 🤤 Before going to Salt Lake to tread water and take pictures, you can consider renting shoes, $50 yuan a pair, will be returned to you when you walk back👌 Take pictures are not afraid of getting dirty! When entering the scenic spot, locals use their ID cards. Remember not to put them together with the train tickets. It's not easy to drop your ID. Be careful! 📍Address: Chakayan Lake, Ulan, Haixi, China ⏰ Opening hours: October 9th 07:30-19:00; October 10th to October 31st 08:00-19:50 (entrance closes at 18:00) 🎫Tickets: $60 RMB Chaka Salt Lake is definitely a must-visit attraction in Ulan to take pictures, relax and take beautiful photos! Sky Mirror is incomparably beautiful
