Salt sculptures tower above visitors at a lake in Ulan County, northwest China's Qinghai Province, forming figures of birds, plants, people and architectural structures like pagodas and walls.

Considered China's "mirror of the sky," Chaka Salt Lake captivates visitors with its salt sculptures and breathtaking landscape. In recent years, the local authorities have been developing tourism facilities at the area's lakeside scenic spots. Sightseeing trains, boat rides, and walkways are among the ways you can explore this expansive attraction.
