White Salt Mountain: Kites Writing Poetry in the Sky

At the end of summer, Qigu Salt Mountain is not just a vast white landscape but also a vibrant scene thanks to the kite-flying activities. Under the blue sky, giant kites in various shapes soar with the wind—some resembling schools of fish, others mythical characters—creating a stunning contrast with the pristine salt mountain. The view is so dreamy, it feels like a moving art exhibition.

Visitors, whether sitting or standing, gaze up at the sky with pure smiles on their faces. The exclamations of children and the laughter of adults intertwine, composing the lightest melody of summer. At the foot of the salt mountain, markets and performances further blend local salt culture with a festive atmosphere.

For these two days, Qigu Salt Mountain transforms from a landmark into a grand stage, where wind and people, salt and sky, come together to perform an unforgettable summer celebration.
