Markam county, with rich salt resources, has more than 3,000 salt pans to evaporate brine in the sun with an ancestral technique since Tang Dynasty (618-907AD), which is also the oldest method of salt production. This salt evaporation method was listed as one of China's National Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2009. (Photo: Xinhua/Wen Tao)
