The only ancient salt well in the world.

The mysterious land of Tibet on the snowy plateau has been rich in natural resources and profound cultural heritage since ancient times. On this vast land, there is a place called Mangkang, which is famous for its unique natural landscape and traditional salt-making techniques. The history of the ancient salt wells in Mangkang can be traced back to more than 1,300 years ago. The salt-making process is to guide the salt spring water into the salt pond through a simple channel built by hand; then, under the strong plateau sunlight, the water gradually evaporates, leaving a crystal rich in minerals; finally, after manual collection, cleaning and drying, a piece of white jade-like salt brick is born. The salt well is the only place in China that maintains the most primitive manual salt drying method. 📍Scenic spot address: Located in Naxi Ethnic Township, Mangkang County, 107 kilometers from the county seat, on both sides of the Lancang River on National Highway 214, 🚗Scenic spot traffic: Self-driving, pay attention to safety 👍️Must-visit attractions: Visit the ancient salt field 🎟️Ticket related: Free 💗Other tips: Self-driving from Mangkang County to National Highway 214, 105 kilometers to reach.
