Chaka Salt Lake(茶卡盐湖)
Chaka Salt Lake (or Caka Salt Lake) is located in Ulan county of Qinghai Province. It is regarded as the eastern gateway to Qaidam Basin(柴达木盆地), which has the largest salt mine in the world. Lying at a height of 3,059 meters, the lake is oval shape and covers an area of 105 square kilometers, ten times larger than the West Lake of Hangzhou. The lake is very shallow — at places, it is only ankle-deep — that allows visitors to walk over the lake. At times, when the sky is looking brilliant, the blue water of the lake reflects the sky as if a giant mirror is resting on the ground. This has earned Chaka Salt Lake the nickname of “Mirror of the Sky”.
