Travels around Qinggan | Emerald Lake Chaka Salt Lake Tonight I am in Delingha

Driving from Dunhuang to Delingha, you will pass by an undeveloped scenic spot - Emerald Lake. Half of the beauty of Emerald Lake comes from man-made work, DachaiAfter long-term mining in the salt lake mining area of Dan Chemical Plant, pits of various sizes have been left here; Half comes from nature, Emerald Lake It is a plateau salt lake and has a very complex geological structure. Over the years, the water resources and the rich minerals under the land have produced subtle chemical reactions, resulting in such a beautiful gem green.

The color of the water will be different depending on the shooting angle. Standing next to the water and looking down, the water is deeper and quieter than imagined. This kind of purity and tranquility suddenly makes people feel a little moved. It turns out that the quiet lake water can also have the power to absorb people's soul. So, instead of struggling to capture its overall beauty with a drone, or struggling to capture some reflections, why not sit down and gaze at the bottom of the lake quietly.

Chaka Salt Lake is similar to Emerald Lake. The beauty of Chaka Salt Lake lies in the reflection of the mountains and blue sky, the salt fields, and the giant mirror on the water with a white bottom. The snow-like mirror-like lake surface stretches as far as the eye can see, which is shocking under the clear sky. The salt lake can form such a childish mirror effect, in addition to water, it is also due to the white salt layer. Under the water surface a few centimeters deep in the salt field, there is a thin layer of salt crystals, and under the salt crystals is silt. Visitors can go into the water to take pictures in the salt field.

If you want to take a reflection, it is not only your photography skills but also your character that matters, so before going to Chaka, you must check the weather forecast and build up your character to pray that the weather will not change suddenly. Not only does the weather need to be clear, but there also needs to be no wind. When the wind blows over the lake, the surface will be full of ripples, making it impossible to form a reflection. The weather we had that day was not good enough. It was windy and the lake was full of ripples, making it impossible to take pictures of the real sky.
