Known as the "Mirror of the Sky", Caka Salt Lake in Qinghai's Haixi Mongolian and Tibetan autonomous prefecture is a breathtaking natural wonder with a salt-harvesting history spanning more than 3,000 years. Its crystal-clear waters mirror the vast sky, creating surreal reflections that seem to blur the boundary between earth and heaven. This tranquil destination is also home to the annual lake worship ceremony of the local Deed Mongolian community. Together, the brilliant salt flats and the pristine highland sky create an ethereal landscape, found only on the Qinghai Plateau.
