📝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.
The beauty is really beautiful. It is really like a fairyland when the weather is good. It is cool and comfortable to travel in summer. The temperature difference over there is a big temperature difference. It is recommended to bring clothes. It is very convenient to make a small train when you go in. It is salty all the way. It is white. It is the best time to check in at noon in the morning!
A place worth going to, no tickets, buy a package ticket, small train battery car can seat! Suitable for taking pictures is very good, but when I went that day, I regret that the sky was not beautiful! The photo effect is not ideal.
The Chaka Salt Lake, which went to the May Day holiday, was frozen into a dog. It was really cold to take the open-top train to the lake, but the scenery was really beautiful. I originally planned to wear a shoe cover and walk in the salt lake, but I really didn't have the courage to go into the water.
The perfect trip for three days and two nights, we met the invincible handsome driver brother Adaqu! Adaqu goes anywhere! Warm and hospitable, and also has a very perfect photography technology. My friend and I have him as the best Qinghai driver! The hotels are good, clean and hygienic, with floor heating. In the scenic area, the journey on the third day was beautiful. I encountered a blizzard two days ago. The blizzard in May was very exciting and had a special flavor. One word, cool. Perfect experience, come back next time!
The first time I came to Chaka Salt Lake, it coincided with the May Day holiday scenic spot free tickets, I feel great, the scenic spot is very own characteristics, the staff service is very thoughtful, the fly in the ointment is cloudy, I did not experience the mirror of the sky, but it doesn't matter, we will see you next time.
It is worth a day trip. Master Ma is very enthusiastic. He will explain to us when he encounters special points on the road. The driving is also very smooth. Every attraction has enough time to take good-looking photos, which meets our imaginations of Jingyu and Snow Mountain. The weather was not very good when I arrived at Chaka Salt Lake in the afternoon, a little snowy, a little regrettable, I didn't take a good-looking sky, I must come to the second brush if I have the opportunity! Pick the weather to definitely see the super beautiful salt lake scenery, when the return trip, the road snowstorm, Ma Master is very cautious and stable, highly recommended!
It is recommended to go to a place, Qinghai Lake is quiet! The real mirror of the sky in Chaka Salt Lake! Super!
There is no invisible consumption throughout the whole process, and the internal consumption of the scenic spot is also very clear. Whether shopping is also based on personal wishes. The driver is more stable and pays attention to safety. The tour guide Cheng Xun is very good. The whole process is also very detailed, funny and humorous. Sincere, recommend ~
