The summer scenery of Qarhan Salt Lake in Haixi, northwest China's Qinghai is a picture of beauty. Located in the Qaidam Basin between the Golmud and Dulan counties, it beams emerald green in the sunlight. The Ten Thousand Zhang Salt Bridge, or Lofty Salt Bridge, a 32-kilometer-long salt surface structure that forms part of the Qinghai-Xizang Highway, helps visitors explore this pristine slice of nature.
