Kilantai Salt Lake In Northwest China's Ningsia. The Kilantai Salt Lake in a morning glow. Lying at the western rim of the Ulanpuho Desert of the Ningsia Hui Autonomous Region, the Kilantai Salt Lake covers 120 square Kilomotres. Salt extraction started here as early as in 1812, but till liberation, such clumsy tools as rakes and ladles were still employed to collect salt. Now all work processes from salt extraction, refining to transportation are done by machine.
