Where are the natural salt lakes in Dingbian?

Yanchangbao Township, 1/3 km northwest of Dingbian County, has a vast pool surface of 33 million square meters, commonly known as "big pool". The whole pool is white, the water surface is like a mirror, and Chizhou is full of green grass and wild flowers. The fields of Chi Pan Dam are adjacent and the channels are horizontal. At night, the bright moon shines in the sky, the pool is bright and the scenery is bright. Known as one of the "eight scenic spots on the border". Huamachi is not only beautiful in natural scenery, but also rich in salt. It is one of the "three treasures" (fur, salty, and sweet licorice). Dingbian County Records records that Dingbian was a "profit-making salt pond" in Han Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, more than ten salt ponds were added to the east and west sides of Huamachi. "There were eighteen salt ponds in the Tang Dynasty". These large and small salt ponds are like a string of pearls embedded in grasslands and deserts in the north, and Huamachi is one of the biggest pearls.

There are many salt lakes in Dingbian, mainly concentrated in the northwest, including Huamachi, Lianhuachi, Hongyachi, Gouchi, Aobaochi, Fangmingjing, Mingshui Lake and Xianhaizi, with a total area of 160 square kilometers. These salt lakes are beautiful and salty.
