China’s Chaka Salt Lake, a heaven-like tourist attraction hailed as a “mirror of the sky”, has hit the headlines over an “ugly” installation.
The lake in northwestern China’s Qinghai province is famous for its mirror-like surface, formed as a result of the water’s high salt content.
It was selected by an authoritative Chinese geography magazine as being among the top must-visit sites in China and received around 40,000 visitors daily last year.

However, some people have complained that an installation in the lake has ruined its serene beauty.
A person posted a video criticising a building-block sculpture featuring a pink heart with angel wings which was erected in the middle of the lake, describing it as a “total eyesore”.
