A Chinese Lake Worth 12 Trillion, Guarded by Troops - What's the Mystery?
Perhaps many friends would like to take a spontaneous trip, just like last year when scenic spots across the country were buzzing with internet hype. What might be most memorable for friends is definitely the Taklamakan Salt Lake. This place is located in the Tarim Basin, one of the Four Great Salt Lakes. Actually, there's another lake like this in our own country, with water resources that can last 1000 years – that's the Changhan Salt Lake.
It's said that this is the world's second largest, ranking number one domestically, and it's also much bigger than other lakes. That's the Changhan Salt Lake. It's the most valuable lake in the world, with a value exceeding 12 trillion. The salt resource storage capacity reaches over 600 billion tons. The salt resources here could supply the world for 1000 years. Even, the salt here could connect the Earth and the Moon over time. As the lake formed, it created highly concentrated brine, eventually forming a very thick salt crust, which is particularly hard.
What's even more surprising is that a railway, 32 kilometers long, actually exists on top of the lake – it's like building a suspended bridge on water. This lake is simply an invisible wealth given to us by heaven. Because of its existence, it has brought great help to the masses, and can be continuously developed by mankind. For this gift from nature, we should do our best to protect our resources. Our country's military police patrol and guard it 24 hours a day. When traveling here, we must be extra careful.
Even tourists who come here are amazed. It's like a fairyland on Earth. It's not only beautiful but also very unique. Many netizens who come here to travel can't help but exclaim: This scenery seems to only exist in heaven. It didn't occur to us that we could see such a scene in our own country. I wonder what your thoughts are, screen viewers? Do you want to go and see the Changhan Salt Lake?
