Famous salt mines include Wieliczka in Poland (维利奇卡盐矿), Sichuan's 自贡盐矿 (Zigong Salt Mines) - central to ancient China's salt-trade economy - and the Qaidam Basin (柴达木盆地) in Qinghai, which holds some of the world's largest salt deposits. Salt was a state monopoly in imperial China for over two thousand years.
