[Struggle for a hundred years, set sail for a new journey, China today] Geological wonders Natural beauty beautiful qinghai is beautiful.

CCTV News:What you see in the picture is Chaka Salt Lake, which is the smallest of the four major salt lakes in Qaidam Basin, but its salt storage is the largest. When it is calm, Chaka Salt Lake is like a mirror, reflecting the distant snow-capped mountains and blue sky in the crystal clear lake, showing the natural scenery of "the lake is the same color as the sky, and the salt lake is the same as the snow peak".

In different seasons and at different times of the day, the scenery of Chaka Salt Lake is also ever-changing. In the past two years, Chaka Salt Lake has become a popular tourist punching place, and the number of tourists has continued to increase.

This is the Emerald Lake in Dachaidan Town, Haixi Prefecture. Because the lake water contains a large number of metallic elements such as magnesium, lithium and potassium and halides, the color of the lake water is either light blue or green or dark blue, and the lake water and salt flowers alternate, just like a piece of glittering and translucent jade, so it is called Jade Lake. Seen from the air, salt ponds of different sizes, shapes and shades are like gems scattered on the earth.

Because of its unique landscape, Emerald Lake is also a online celebrity punch-in point on the Chaidamu tourism ring road, which is called "the most beautiful emerald in the world" by tourists.

What we are seeing now is Yadan landform distributed in the northwest of Qaidam Basin. Yadan is a typical wind erosion landform, which means steep hills. Looking down from the sky, Yadan looks like ancient castles, and its formation has gone through about 700,000 to 300,000 years.

Yadan on the water brings out the best in each other with Yadan on the ground. Because of the crustal movement in Qaidam Basin, the lake water in Qinghai Lake and other places flows into Yadan territory through the underground, which forms the magnificent Yadan landscape on the water that we see before our eyes. Yadan on the water that stretches for 800 kilometers is spread all over the blue water, just like jasper on Gebi Beach and a quiet mirage.

What you see now is another famous salt lake in Qaidam Basin — — Chaerhan Salt Lake. It is not only the largest potash production base in China, but also one of the rare large inland salt lakes in the world, with more than 50 billion tons of sodium chloride stored in the lake.

The terrain around Chaerhan Salt Lake is flat, the whole lake seems to be a smooth mirror, and the clusters of salt flowers exposed on the water surface are like a series of beautiful collars. Looking from a distance, there is also a "Wanzhang Salt Bridge" floating on the brine in the salt lake. Tourists walk on the salt bridge, and the water and sky are the same, as if they were integrated into a beautiful landscape painting.
