It covers an area of about 132 square kilometers and has a development history of more than 4,000 years. Because its salt water content is similar to the "dead sea" in the Middle East, people can float but not sink in the water, so it is called "the sea of death". Salt Lake is bounded by Zhongtiaoshan in the south, Mingtiaogang in Emei in the north, Yaotai in Sushui in the east and the old capital of the Yellow River in the west. The lake is covered with silver, vast and boundless, surrounded by reed wetlands, and waterfowl and migratory birds gather.
