茶卡鹽湖

茶卡鹽湖為國家AAAA級景區，需實名購票，建議提前透過官方平台或合作App線上預訂門票及觀光小火車票，旺季（5-10月）尤其建議提前購票以避免排隊。遊玩時請務必注意：景區內大部分為鹽水區域，如需下水行走，請務必穿著景區提供的專用防水鞋套或自備高筒防水鞋，赤腳下水會損傷皮膚且不安全；「天空之鏡」效果在晴朗無風天氣最佳，建議上午或傍晚光線柔和時拍攝；湖面反射強烈，需佩戴墨鏡並做好高強度防曬；請勿向湖中丟棄任何物品，保護好脆弱的鹽層生態環境；乘坐小火車時請排隊等候，勿在軌道上行走或逗留；最後，景區海拔約3100米，請緩步慢行，避免劇烈運動引發高原反應。

Chaka Salt Lake (or Caka Salt Lake) is a National AAAA-level scenic area that requires real-name ticket purchase. It is recommended to book tickets and sightseeing train tickets online in advance through official platforms or partner apps, especially during the peak season (May-October) to avoid queues. Please pay close attention to the following during your visit: most areas within the scenic spot are saltwater; if you need to walk in the water, you must wear the specialized waterproof shoe covers provided by the park or bring your own high waterproof boots, as going barefoot can damage your skin and is unsafe; the "Sky Mirror" effect is best on clear, windless days, so taking photos in the soft light of morning or evening is advised; the lake surface reflects intensely, requiring sunglasses and strong sun protection; do not discard any items into the lake to protect the fragile salt layer ecosystem; when riding the small train, please queue and wait, and do not walk or linger on the tracks; finally, the scenic area is at an altitude of about 3,100 meters—walk slowly and steadily to avoid triggering altitude sickness from strenuous activity.

Chaka Salt Lake is located in Chaka Town, Ulan County, Haixi Mongol and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province. It is one of the four major salt lakes in the Qaidam Basin and is renowned as "China's Mirror of the Sky". With a lake surface altitude of approximately three thousand meters and a vast area, its flat, crystallized salt surface perfectly reflects the sky, clouds, and distant mountains, creating a dreamlike scene where water and sky seamlessly merge. The lake boasts a history of salt mining spanning thousands of years and serves as an important green food salt production base in China. The scenic area preserves century-old salt-mining railways, small trains, and the world's largest outdoor salt sculpture installations, blending natural wonders with industrial cultural heritage. Visitors can take a small train deep into the lake's center to enjoy the unique aquatic railway views, or stroll across the lake surface to capture poetic reflections, immersing themselves in the sensation of "walking in the lake as if roaming through a painting." As a national 4A-level tourist attraction, Chaka Salt Lake is also named by various media as a must-visit destination in one's lifetime.
