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”. 4 Cultural Understanding Great Barrier Reef（大堡礁） The Great Barrier Reef is the world’s largest coral reef（珊瑚礁） system with over 2,900 individual reefs and 900 islands stretching for over 2,300 kilometers over an area of about 344,400 square kilometers.

It supports a wide diversity of life and was selected as a World Heritage Site in 1981. And it is known as one of the seven natural wonders of the world. 5 课文 理解 Our wonderful planet is home to some amazing natural wonders, and there are plenty of them all over the world worth discovering. 在我们美丽的地球上有许多令人惊叹的自然景观值得我们去发现。 is home to 是 ... 的家园 plenty of 许多，大量 worth discovering 值得去发现 all over the world 全世界 Chaka Salt Lake 茶卡盐湖 Chaka Salt Lake (or Caka Salt Lake) is located in Ulan county of Qinghai Province. 茶卡盐湖位于青海省乌兰县境内。 It is regarded as the eastern g
