Dubbed the "Mirror of the Sky," Caka Salt Lake in China’s Qinghai Province is famous for its Instagram-worthy reflections. But there’s more to this shimmering wonder than meets the eye. 🌍 CGTN’s Yang Xinmeng ventured beyond the lake’s surface beauty to uncover a hidden world where tradition and tech collide.
From Salt Factories to Wind Power 🌬️
Yang’s journey took her to a century-old salt factory, where workers still harvest salt using time-tested methods—a practice as crisp as the lake’s crystalline edges. But just a stone’s throw away, she stumbled on a futuristic twist: a wind power station in the middle of the lake. 💨⚡
A Dance of Old and New
This isn’t just a pretty postcard spot. Caka Salt Lake is a living lab of resilience, blending ancient practices with clean energy innovation. Think of it as ‘Avatar’ meets ‘Mad Max’—but with fewer explosions and more sustainability.
"It’s like the land itself is writing a new story," Yang shared. "One where the past and future shake hands under that endless blue sky."
