## About Yuncheng Salt Lake

Yuncheng Salt Lake rivals the world-famous Dead Sea in Israel. Its black mud contains 7 major and 16 trace elements. Visitors can float on the lake's water, and the mud is said to beautify and nourish the skin, which is why Yuncheng Salt Lake is known as 'China's Dead Sea.'
