Salt Lake Serenity✨

Salt Lake Dreams at Chaerhan 💚🌊☀️ Discover Golmud’s breathtaking gem—Chaerhan Salt Lake, famous for its dazzling green waters shimmering beneath wide-open skies. It’s the perfect spot to soak up peace and pure nature vibes, where endless salt flats meet the distant mountains. Recommended Route & Must-Do Experiences Start early to catch the serene morning light and beat the crowds! Stroll along boardwalks winding over crystal-clear salt pools, and head towards areas with the brightest emerald hues for that iconic view. Pause where the lake’s green water creates surreal mirror effects—the ultimate zen moment. Take time to embrace the silence and vastness; it’s a tranquil break from busy city life. Top Photo Spots Your prime “insta-worthy” angle is with the lake reflecting the blue sky, with mountains as your backdrop—just like your image of a lone woman and desolate peaks. Stand near water’s edge for dramatic shots or pose against the endless flats with salt patterns underfoot. Sunny days boost the lake’s color pop, so bring sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat for style points! Practical Tips & Key Precautions Chaerhan Town is the entry point—bring snacks and water, as options inside are limited. Entry finishes early (by 18:30 Oct 8, or 18:00 Oct 9–Dec 31), so plan accordingly. Tickets are 98 yuan. Weather can shift fast, so light layers and sun protection are a must. The flat terrain can get slippery where wet—sturdy shoes recommended. #golmud #saltlake #naturevision #outdoortravel #greenwaters #hellohalloween
