Yuncheng Salt

Photo taken on Jan. 19, 2016 shows the scenery of mirabilite rime on the Salt Lake in Yuncheng, north China's Shanxi Province. Mirabilite rime is formed when mirabilite crystalizes at a low temperature. The Salt Lake of Yuncheng, a typical inland saltwater lake, is the world's third largest sodium sulphate inland lake. Due to its high saltness, it is also called the "Dead Sea" of China.(Xinhua/Zhan Yan)http://www.globaltimes.cn/content/964631.shtml
