Legend, which makes many Japanese revive the word "Dzyukay", rooted in the Middle Ages.

Due to lack of conventional construction materials, many of them are almost entirely built with salt blocks cut from the Salar – including walls, roof and furniture. 

The first such hotel, Hotel de Sal Playa, was erected in 1993-1995 in the middle of the salt flat, and soon became a popular tourist destination. Many more hotels and hostels made out of salt were constructed later. Hotel de Sal Playa was previously covered on Amusing Planet.

World's Highest Tidal Waves in Qiantang River


The Qiantang River (also known as the Qian River) is a southeast Chinese river that originates in the borders of Anhui and Jiangxi provinces and passes through Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang province, before flowing into the East China Sea through Hangzhou Bay.

The river and bay are known for the world's largest tidal bore, which is up to 9 metres (30 ft) high, and travels at up to 40 km per hour (25 miles an hour). The tide rushing into the river from the bay causes a bore usually from 5 to 15 ft (1.5–4.6 m) high, which sweeps past Hangzhou and menaces shipping in the harbor. It is so dangerous that, until recently, no one attempting to surf it has managed to remain upright for more than 11 seconds.

On September 1, 2011, massive tidal waves exceeded 60 metres and damaged more than 100 metres of protective railings. Many people came to see this amazing natural phenomenon.
