Chaka Salt Lake, located in Xireg, China, is a stunning natural wonder often referred to as the "Mirror of the Sky." This expansive salt lake is renowned for its reflective surface, which beautifully mirrors the sky and surrounding mountains, creating a mesmerizing and almost surreal landscape. The lake's high salinity results in striking white salt flats, and it has been a significant source of salt for centuries. Visitors can walk out onto the lake's surface, especially during the dry season, and witness the unique optical illusions created by the reflections.
