A sustained summer heat wave with temperatures soaring above 37 degrees Celsius has brought a breathtaking transformation to the millennium-old salt lake in Yuncheng, north China's Shanxi Province. From an aerial perspective, the lake resembles a huge artist's palette, offering a visual feast of vibrant colors.

After concluding its over 4,600-year history of salt production and 70 years of inorganic salt development, Yuncheng Salt Lake has been transformed from "China's largest inorganic salt industrial base" into a renowned tourist and holiday destination. Visitors can now marvel at the mesmerizing beauty of this colorful lake, a testament to nature's artistry and the region's commitment to ecological restoration.
