Yuncheng Salt Lake | A Real-Life Sky Mirror, with the Best Photo Spots

| A real-life sky mirror, with the best photo spots. OMG! I finally found a real-life sky mirror—Yuncheng Salt Lake! On a clear day, it's like nature has overturned its palette here, every frame is breathtakingly beautiful, and every shot is a masterpiece, no post-production color adjustment needed!

If time is limited, I highly recommend arriving around 4 or 5 pm. When the setting sun shines on the lake, the entire salt lake is dyed golden red, it's truly stunning!

Here are 3 of my favorite secret photo spots:

1. Road Lamp No. 006: The composition is stunning, just navigate there directly. If parking is inconvenient, you can park at the Chishen Temple parking lot (it's free).
2. Stone Embankment: To the right front of the highway viewpoint, you can capture the layered beauty of the salt lake here, creating super atmospheric photos.
3. Highway Viewpoint inside the Salt Lake: Walk directly into the salt lake, with the highway and the lake surface as the background, every shot looks amazing!

📍 To take photos at the salt lake, you can enter from the opposite side of Chishen Temple. The photo spots are within walking distance.

📢 Friendly Reminders:

1. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes! Going to the embankment will involve walking a short distance on a stone path, wearing high heels will be really painful.
2. Protect yourself from the sun! The UV rays here are super strong. I spent less than 20 minutes in the sun, and my skin got sunburned and red, and it hasn't recovered yet😭
3. It's recommended to wear brightly colored clothes for photos, which will create a stunning contrast with the color of the lake. Wear sunglasses to easily capture a fashionable blockbuster feel 🕶️
