Generally, lakes are green or blue. But nature always surprises us, and occasionally uses other colors to break your understanding of common things. If you look at this pink lake in Tibet - Zabuye Chaka, you will know that nature also has a girlish heart!
As the third largest lithium salt lake in the world and the only pink lake in Tibet, Zabuye Chaka is a very small scenic spot in Tibet. Many "old drivers" who have come to Tibet many times may not have seen the "appearance" The beautiful Zabuye tea card".
Zabuye Chaka, also called Zabu Yecuo, is located in Renduo Township, Longgar District, Zhongba County, Shigatse City, Tibet Autonomous Region. It is one of the three largest lithium salt lakes in the world. Zabuye Chaka is divided into South Lake and North Lake. The South Lake is a solid and liquid lake with an area of 243 square kilometers and an altitude of 4429; the North Lake is a brine lake with an area of about 100 square kilometers. It is said that the pink color of the lake water is caused by Artemia in the lake.
In 1982, Chinese geologist Zheng Mianping discovered a new mineral here: natural primary lithium carbonate, which was later named "Zabuye stone". This is an ideal raw material for obtaining lithium, so it has become one of the three largest lithium salt lakes in the world. This is a place that very few tourists know, they may have heard of it, but not many people have seen it.
