First, you need to arrive in Golmud City, which is the closest city to the Chaka Salt Lake. [ShyR] Golmud doesn't have ride-hailing services, so it's best to stay in the city center, specifically on Bayi Road, where it's convenient to catch a taxi. You can take a taxi directly from Golmud to the "Hexi Roundabout," or if you have a contact for a ride-sharing driver, they can pick you up directly. There are many taxis at Hexi Roundabout that go to Chaka Salt Lake. The price is transparent, with a one-way fare of 25 RMB per person, and they leave when the car is full, taking about an hour to reach the destination. Remember to keep the driver's contact information so you can call them for a ride back to the city center when you return.
