Salt Is Important
Can we live without salt? No, salt is very important to us. We need salt in out food. Animals need it, too.
Most of the salt in our country comes from the sea. When the sun dries up the water, people can get salt from the ground. The salt is white, clean and beautiful.
There are a lot of salt wells in Sichuan. A salt well is much like a water well. People bring the well water up to the ground and then dry it in big pans over a fire. In this way they get salt.
In the north of our country, there are many salt lakes. Some of these lakes are very big. The salt in big lakes can even meet the needs of our people for many years.
