Cha'erhan Salt Lake(About 30 minutes by car and 1.5 hours by tour)The Chaerhan Salt Lake was formed hundreds of millions of years ago. It used to be a vast ocean. With the crustal movement, the the Himalayas Mountains rose, forming the Qinghai Tibet Plateau. Because of the loss of sea water, large and small lakes were formed. The enclosed terrain caused the runoff in the watershed to continuously converge into the lake, and the salt also flowed into the lake with the runoff. At the same time, under the influence of arid climate, the high concentration brine in the lake gradually crystallized into salt, eventually forming the current Cha'erhan Salt Lake.
In the afternoon, take the Chengdu train back to Lanzhou/Chengdu.
