We had been in a dust storm the day before in Golmud and there was very much dust left in the atmosphere so you could only see a couple of hundred meters so we missed it on the way up, but on the way down in the morning what a sight to see all the animals and the morning sun gleaming on the ice capped mountains a sight I will never forget.

Chaidamu Basin

Reviewed By 246StephenC

The journey here was a treacherous one whereby there was more than a stretch of three kilometers of potholes. There doesn’t seem to be any ticketing booth and the road signs were also unclear. Things got better the moment you’re inside. There are six stations whereby you can get to see different natural landscapes. Somehow the emerald colored water set against the salt base of the lake makes it very picturesque. Throw in the snow capped mountains in the background and you have a perfect photo op! The best part of it is free admission; maybe I picked the right day to visit.

Chaerhan Salt Lake, Geermu

Reviewed By Melanieduan - Newcastle, United Kingdom

Qarhan salt lake, it’s the industrial salt factory and open to visitors right now. It’s a big factory base with white all beaches of salt, a long long salt bridge...when the sun is shining, the colour of the water various from turquoise blue to lime green, sometimes yellow amber. My feet in the salt, soft, cool and interesting, the natural sunbath! The water is so calm and a few salt flowers are beautiful.
