Chaka salt lake - winter landscape in summer

We spent about a week in Qinghai, mostly at Qinghai lake as we visited local horse racing there. I liked Chaka lake better than Qinghai lake (as I still don't understand why Qinghai lake entry tickets are so overpriced)
We came to Chaka in the evening by bus from Qinghai lake and stayed in a hotel.
In the early morning I walked about 3-4km to the Scenic area witnessing wildlife such as hares and ducks.
At the entrance I requested information in English and there was an English speaking employee to give details which were quite helpful.
The path in the area is about 5km long, there are some cafés at the beginning and special shoes and fancy dresses rental somewhere in the middle.
Visiting Chaka was one of the highlights of this summer!
There are 2 Scenic areas, I've been to one only (should have visited both)
It's not easy to find a taxi in the area, so the English speaking employee helped to arrange it in the evening
