Yuncheng Salt Lake was once famous for its 4000-year history of salt production. It was formed in the early Cenozoic about 500 million years ago, with an area of about 65438 0.20 square kilometers. Like the world-famous Dead Sea in Israel, it belongs to an inland saltwater lake. The black mud in Israel's Dead Sea is mainly chloride, and the black mud in Yuncheng Salt Lake is mainly sulfate, both of which are rich in mineral elements beneficial to human body, and both of them are in the same order of magnitude. Different lakes have the same effect on human health.
Yuncheng Salt Lake is a vibrant place besides the magic of the Dead Sea. Located in the lowest part of Yuncheng Basin, it is a typical closed-flow inland lake, like a piece of jade. What is the basis of snail's mouth against punishment? There are thousands of silver islands, which are blue and sparkling, and have been called "Silver Lake" since ancient times. Due to the high salt content, the Dead Sea is quite anoxic, and all kinds of creatures can't survive. Yuncheng Salt Lake is rich in aquatic plants, reeds around the shore, birds singing and flowers smelling, and full of vitality. In addition, Yuncheng Salt Lake has been rich in "Luyan" for more than 4,000 years, and many cultural landscapes have been derived from it. Yanchi Temple built in the Tang Dynasty, the revered Guan Gong Jia Fu, Guandi Temple, the largest martial temple in China, Sima Wengong Temple, Yongle Palace murals, Pujiu Temple, Yellow River Tieniu and the ruins of the ancient capital of Zhou Pu are all dotted around the salt lake like pearls.
