Scenery can vary a great deal when seen from different angles. This series of aerial photos taken this year by a drone includes a substantial number of snapshots from different corners and attractions around China. When seen from high above, familiar landscapes and scenic spots can transform into new sights, displaying their beauty in lines, shapes and rhythms, unraveling highly diverse scenes that we otherwise might not behold.

Does anyone know what those rings in the lake are, and what they are for? As well, can anyone explain the different colours that appear on the salt lake?
Aren't those rings for oyster farming? After looking again the oyster farms are the rows arranged in rectangles and the rings more than likely for fish farming.
As for the colours, it would depend on the type of mineral salt in each of the areas.
Thanks for answering my questions. As well, it's interesting to note that the mineral makeup can vary as only parts of the general area.
Arvo....here the round rings are used for Salmon farming in Tasmania..
Or in South Australia they use them for Tuna farming...
More popular than I thought, and I never saw anything like that before.
There are salt plains in Western Australia and far as I know the different colours are to do with the different minerals as Bcc said...
But it's also to do with sediments, algae and bacteria from what I have read..
Another thing I never saw or knew about before I saw the article.
