Also went to Chaka Salt Lake~

Finally arrived at Chaka Salt Lake~ I have to say the journey was a bit long, and my butt got a little sore from sitting, but it was really worth it!!! The scenery along the way was really beautiful, with endless mountains and flatlands, truly living up to the saying that life is wild. After arriving at Chaka, as soon as you get off the car and go in, you can feel the warmth of the locals. They shove all kinds of specialties into your hands—there’s really everything. You don’t even need to buy food; the free specialties are enough to fill you up. If you like something, you can take a few more. The beef jerky there is really good—I bought several packs to take home and eat, hahaha. When you come to Chaka Salt Lake on a sunny day, be sure to do sun protection; the UV rays are really strong. The sunny weather is perfect for photos—the whole lake surface glows apple green, and the white salt city sculptures are spectacular! It takes at least three hours to fully explore, highly recommended.
