Nestled in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, East Salt Lake is serving major ‘otherworldly vibes’ to travelers craving surreal landscapes. Located 160 km southeast of Hami, this natural wonder transforms into a glistening white paradise thanks to its vast salt crystal formations—think of it as Earth’s own glitter factory! 💎
Visitors can stroll across the lake’s mirror-like surface, snap Instagram-worthy shots (📸 #NoFilterNeeded), or simply marvel at the horizon where sky and salt blend seamlessly. Local guides say the best time to visit is at sunset, when the crystals reflect hues of pink and gold—like nature’s own TikTok filter.
Pro tip for adventurers: Pair your trip with a visit to nearby Hami’s famed melon farms 🍈 for a sweet contrast to the lake’s salty charm. With improved transport links, this once-remote spot is now trending among Gen-Z explorers and sustainability-minded travelers.
