The secret of the Sky Mirror is revealed! Chaka Salt Lake unlocks the paradise on earth with one click🌌

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 The secret of the Sky Mirror is revealed! A guide to the beautiful check-in at Chaka Salt Lake, unlocking the paradise on earth with one click🌌 Super practical guide 📖 📍 Address: No. 9, Yanhu Road, Chaka Town, Ulan County, Haixi Mongolian and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province. It is known as the "Mirror of the Sky in China" and is breathtakingly beautiful! 🕙 Business hours: open all year round, peak season (April 26 - October 10) 06:00 - 22:00, off-season (October 11 - April 25 of the following year) 07:00 - 21:00, best shooting time is before 9 am and after 5 pm🌞 🎫 Tickets: 60 yuan for adults, half price for students, 50 yuan for a one-way train (highly recommended!), you can buy tickets in advance on the official WeChat account~ 🚗 Transportation: • Self-driving: Starting from Xining, drive along the Beijing-Tibet Expressway for about 3 hours. The road conditions are good and the scenery along the way is super beautiful! • Public transportation: There is a shuttle bus from Xining Xinning Road Bus Station to Chaka Salt Lake. The round-trip ticket is about 100 yuan. 📸 Must-visit attractions ✅ Sky Mirror Square: At the entrance of the scenic area, the iconic large salt sculpture is super suitable for photography, and every shot is a blockbuster! ✅ Lakeside Pier: Take a small train directly to the lake, where the lake is the clearest and perfectly reflects the sky and clouds☁️. Put on a red or white skirt and you can take photos in minutes! ✅ Salt Sculpture Group: Various giant sculptures carved from salt, lifelike and full of artistic sense! Outfit and equipment suggestions👗 • Always wear brightly colored clothing! The red and yellow dresses are beautiful against the pure white salt lake. • Prepare sunglasses 🕶️, a sun hat, and sunscreen, as the ultraviolet rays on the plateau are very strong! • The scenic area provides shoe covers for rent (15 yuan/pair), or you can bring your own rain boots for easy access to the lake. Real reviews 💕 Chaka Salt Lake is so amazing! Seeing the lake surface reflecting the blue sky and white clouds like a mirror, it feels like being in a dream world, so beautiful that I am at a loss for words! Sitting in a small train slowly heading towards the center of the lake, the scenery along the way is like a movie scene, and I can't bear to blink at every frame~ Going down to the lake and stepping on the salt flats, the icy feeling is super wonderful🧊 But be careful to avoid the midday sun, otherwise the light will be too strong to take pictures. The only small drawback is that there are a few people during the peak season, but as long as you find the right angle, you can still take great photos of the entire place! I highly recommend this to all friends who love taking photos and traveling. This trip is definitely worth it and can cure all your unhappiness in minutes! 🥰
