Did you understand? In the Chinese province of Qinghai, there is a lake worth 12 trillion!
In the western Chinese province of Qinghai, there is a stunning wonderland of Zarkhan Salt Lake. Not only is it known as "China's largest salt lake", but it also attracts tourists and investors from all over the world because of its economic value of up to 12 trillion yuan. What's even more striking is that this beautiful lake is also guarded by a mysterious army around the clock to protect the lake's tranquility.
Why is the salt lake so incredibly valuable? And what does the presence of the army mean? Let's take these questions together and uncover the mystery of the Zarkhan Salt Lake.
The value of the Zarkhan salt lake reached 12 trillion.
Perhaps in the age of the Internet, everyone is more familiar with the Chaka Salt Lake, but the fact that the Zarkhan Salt Lake is at the top of the list of salt lakes in China is little known.
Anyone who has witnessed the view of the Zarkhan Salt Lake will be impressed by it. From a distance, the lake blends with the blue sky and white clouds, making it as beautiful as a fairyland. Especially in the evening, the surface of the lake seems to be reflected in the setting sun and turns a blood-red, merging with the heavens and the earth, exuding a romantic and tranquil atmosphere.
This treasure of the lake, where the lake is located, is not only picturesque, but also attracts attention for its resource value. According to the relevant geologists and research teams, the lake contains rare resources, which are estimated to be as high as 12 trillion yuan, which has aroused people's curiosity about this place.
Undoubtedly, one of the most precious and enormous resources of the Zarkhan Salt Lake is the salt mines. However, many may question whether salt alone is enough to make the lake so valuable. Indeed, salt is not a scarce resource, as salt is abundant in seawater, and there is a traditional industry of drying salt in coastal areas. However, the salt resources of the Zarkhan Salt Lake are far from ordinary.
According to geologists and research teams, the lake contains more than 2 billion tons of salt resources, which is 220 times the length of the Eastern Great Wall. The salt extracted from the Zarkhan salt lake can be used not only for food and medicinal purposes, but also for industrial smelting and refining of other ores. In addition, the salt mines in the lake are extremely precise, and high-quality salt can be produced after simple processing.
Sodium chloride is the main component of salt and is a substance extracted from salt lakes. In addition to its use in the food and medical fields, it can also be used in the industrial refining of other ores, which shows that the use of salt lake resources is not limited to salt and medical uses, but also has a wide range of industrial value.
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that the Zarkhan salt lake needs special protection measures. Compared with general mineral resources, salt lake resources are more rare and precious. In order to ensure that the surrounding environment of the lake is not damaged and polluted by man, and to maintain the ecological and natural environment of the lake, the state has sent troops to garrison and guard.
Not only does this land of treasures hold an incredible amount of salt, but it also hides many more exciting discoveries!
A land of treasures with abundant resources.
The climatic conditions in Qinghai Province are quite harsh, with little rain and drought, low temperatures, and large temperature differences between day and night. However, it is precisely this special climatic condition that has contributed to the formation of abundant salt lake resources, especially the salt crystals and mineral resources in the lake.
The Zarkhan Salt Lake is famous all over the world for its unique geological features. The surface of the lake is covered with a thin layer of salt, while at the bottom of the lake, large amounts of salt crystals have accumulated over time. These salt crystals are extracted and processed to make products such as various food salts and normal salines. With its super strength, it has become the most important salt production base in China.
The Zarkhan Salt Lake is known for its unique mineral resources, which are not only rich in oil and gas reserves, but also rich in potash deposits. Potash is an important raw material for agricultural potash fertilizer, which can improve the lodging resistance of crops and reduce morbidity, and plays a key role in agricultural development.
In order to effectively exploit the resources of the Zarkhan salt lake, China has built a fertilizer plant here and focused on the development of the potash industry. Since the 80s, the Zarkhan Salt Lake has become one of the largest potash production bases in the country. The launch of the potash fertilizer production project also marks an important step in the large-scale development of the western region.
The Zarkhan Salt Lake also contains carnallite, a rare ore resource that is extremely rare in the world, and only Germany and the Soviet Union have found large-scale veins.
The considerable number of carnallite veins in China's Zarkhan Salt Lake is considered one of the largest carnallite deposits in the world, and carnallite has important industrial value and can be used to make refining agents and protective agents for aluminum-magnesium alloys. If it can be reasonably mined and utilized, China is expected to become the world's largest carnallite country.
The importance of the Zarkhan salt lake is self-evident, so the state has sent troops to the lake's borders and set up military bases to patrol the surrounding area to prevent illegal exploitation. These measures have had a deterrent effect, allowing the Zarkhan Salt Lake to be effectively protected in the long term and continue to provide a valuable resource for China's mining and construction.
This salt lake is not only rich in natural resources of great value, but also breathtaking beauty, rich in human history and scientific value, in fact.
3.Tourist resort, picturesque.
The terrain around the Zarkhan Salt Lake is flat, and the surface of the lake is covered with layers of salt waves, forming a vast white landscape. The salt flowers along the lake are an important part of the landscape, and they show the magic of nature in a graceful way, and they shimmer in various forms in the sun.
A visit to the Zarkhan Salt Lake not only allows you to enjoy the beauty of the lake, but also to feel the charm of the salt lake up close, especially through the Wanzhang Salt Bridge, where you can see the solid salt cap formed by the accumulation of salt grains, thus forming a very hard and passable salt bridge.
This salt bridge is suspended above the lake without any supporting structures, and this unique landscape makes the Zarkhan Salt Lake a stunning wonderland.
The salt lake is not only a tourist resource, but also a rich natural resource. Due to the high salt content in the salt lake, no other organisms grow, and the protein in the salt can be preserved for thousands of years without decaying, the salt in the salt lake has become an important raw material for cosmetics.
It not only has a beautiful scenery comparable to a fairyland, but also contains a resource reserve of astonishing value, as well as an incomparably deep cultural heritage. Kunlun culture is inspired by Kunlun mythology, and many unique cultural characteristics involving mythological stories and relics have been formed in this land, and ethnic minorities have also settled in the Zarkhan Salt Lake, leaving traces of diverse and rich ethnic culture.
The protection of salt lake resources is equally important to the development and utilization, and can be promoted through science and technology and new platforms to attract more tourists to visit, so as to ensure that the salt lake is fully protected.
The development and utilization of the Zarkhan Salt Lake is not only for economic and tourism benefits, but also reflects their respect for nature and the inheritance of traditional culture. Through the rational and effective use of salt lake resources, we can give better play to local advantages and promote the development of local economy.
Rich in world-class beauty and valuable resources, the Zarkhan Salt Lake is of great value in the tourism and economic fields, and at the same time shows a model of harmony between man and nature. As long as the protection is strengthened and rationally developed and utilized, the Zarkhan Salt Lake will surely bring more surprises and benefits to people.
