Don't miss Yanjing on your way from Yunnan to Tibet. Its salt fields use unique techniques of more than 1,500 years to extract salt. Yanjing, a township in the Tibetan Autonomous Region, is located in the southeastern end of Tibet, near the borders of Sichuan and Yunnan.

The same salt water source, as well as the same process, is utilized here to produce both white and red salt, adding an element of mystery to the town. A lower volume of white salt is produced and therefore commands higher prices.
