Due to the special geological structure of the lake, the water in the basin is not connected to the sea, plus there is less rainfall in the image of the local climate, therefore, Lake Tuz is a very shallow lake, and it is not suitable for ships to park on the lake.
In this way, geology and climate have created a Turkish version of "Skyland". 
The ecosystem that has proliferated around Lake Tuz has become an important area where many bird biodiversity continues.
It is also protected by a first-class nature reserve in Turkey. About 85 species of birds, 15 mammals, 129 insects, and about 40 endemic plants live in and around the lake.

This is also the habitat of extinct flamingos on the European continent. If you are lucky, you can encounter pink salt lakes, red sunsets and pink flamingos, then you will encounter love. Minerals at the bottom of the lake make your feet softer.
Here you can easily exclude visual blockbusters. Mostly young Turkish and Europeans and Americans use this as one of the important shooting locations for wedding photos. Most of the time Lake Tuz is white, and sometimes it turns pink because of its unique geology and temperature.
If you just happen to catch the flamingo every year to come back to inhabit, and you just happen to catch the sunny sunset, then you are the destined person.
