茶卡盐湖带动新变

News Summary
During the combined National Day and Mid‑Autumn Festival holidays, the “Sky Mirror” area of Chaka Salt Lake welcomed 156,000 visitors – about a 16 % increase over the same period last year. By October 8, the total number of visitors for the year had already exceeded 2.8 million.

The site promoted itself through short videos, livestreams and an English‑language promotional film, reaching travelers both at home and abroad. Holiday‑related posts on social media attracted a large number of reads and shares.

The scenic area has been working on three fronts at the same time: festive events, hardware upgrades, and service improvements. Highlights include:

• Red‑themed performances and Mid‑autumn cultural experiences that let tourists feel local heritage.
• Salt‑sculpture DIY workshops so visitors can create their own souvenirs.
• Ongoing work toward a 5‑star scenic‑area rating (the highest national level).
• Better parking, accessible pathways, rest areas, and “smart” operation systems.

These efforts have created new jobs, lifted local incomes, and helped balance visitor capacity with ecological protection. The overall goal is a high‑quality, sustainable cultural‑tourism boost for the region.

The changes at Chaka Salt Lake remind us that diligent work and thoughtful service can turn natural beauty into a reliable livelihood, benefitting families right at their doorstep. Everyday honesty, hard work, and mutual help are the foundations that turn local resources into lasting blessings.
