Where to Stay in Chaka Salt Lake

About 150km to Qinghai Lake and 295km to Xining, Chaka Salt Lake, known as the “Mirror of the Sky”, is also an unmissable site to take great photos. Many people would like to stay there and capture the natural beauty of sunset, sunrise, and milky way with spectacular reflections. There are 3 recommended areas to stay in, namely the Chaka Town (only 4km from the entrance of Chaka Salt Lake Scenic Area), Chaka Salt Lake Scenic Area, and Sky No. 1 Scenic Area. It has more accommodation choices in Chaka Town. But if you would like to capture the night scenery and get up early for the sunrise, staying inside the scenic areas might be better.
