The Uyuni Salt Flat（乌尤尼盐沼），lcated in suthwestern Blivia，is knwn as the"Mirrr f the Sky".After the rain，this place lks like a mirrr.It shws the sky s clearly that yu can't tell the difference between the grund and the sky.The amazing mirrr effect desn't cme ut f thin air.It is made pssible by three key factrs（要素）.

The rainfall als plays an imprtant rle.It can't be a strm.Just enugh rain t cver the layer f salt is perfect.If the rain is heavy，water hles will frm and the mirrr effect will be lst.
