YUNCHENG, July 12 (Xinhua) -- Yuncheng Salt Lake has a history of over 4,600 years of exploitation, with profound cultural heritage and significant historical value.
The lake is one of three inland salt lakes with sodium sulfate in the world, covering an area of 132 square km. It once served as a salt production base.
In recent years, local authority has insisted on giving priority to protection and green development and stopped all industrial production within the protection area of the lake, in a bid to promote industrial transformation and upgrading according to local conditions.
