The Millennium Ancient Salt Fields of Yanjing are one of the famous scenic spots in Qamdo City, Tibet, China. Thousands of tourists come here for sightseeing every day. This time I will introduce a travel guide here.
Transportation
Starting from the urban area of Chamdo, go south along the G214 National Highway, pass through Mangkam County, and you will reach Yanjing Town. Visitors can choose to drive themselves or join a tour group. As the journey is quite long, it is recommended to set out in the morning so that there is enough time to explore.
Tour suggestions
What to wear: Comfortable sneakers or non-slip shoes are recommended as the dirt slope from the road to the salt pans is steep and slippery. At the same time, due to the strong ultraviolet rays in the plateau area, it is recommended to bring sun protection products such as sun hats, sunglasses and sunscreen.
Photography: During the tour, you can take photos of the beautiful scenery of the salt fields and the salt-making process. But please be careful to take photos in a civilized manner, do not litter, and protect this beautiful natural heritage. At the same time, it is best to ask local villagers if you can take pictures to respect their wishes.
Experience: If you have the opportunity, you can participate in local salt-making activities and experience the ancient salt-making techniques firsthand. This will be an unforgettable experience that will allow you to gain a deeper understanding of the history and culture of the Mangkang Salt Fields.
