Here, you can visit the ancient ferry where Emperor Kangxi crossed the Yellow River, and the Crescent Lake where Zhaojun left the fortress and stayed in the desert. The desert in the scenic area.. .”

Today I would like to introduce to you the sand lake in Yinchuan, Ningxia. The Shahu Scenic Spot has both the beauty of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River and the majesty of the Saibei desert, attracting millions of tourists every year. Is it beautiful or not? Everyone knows it after reading it.

Shahu Lake is known as a national 5A-level scenic spot. It is fifty or sixty kilometers away from the urban area, and it takes about 40 minutes to arrive. Since it is called a sand lake, one side is sand and the other is a lake. The area of ​​sand dunes in the sand lake is not large, but the area of ​​the lake is quite large. When playing, it can be divided into two directions. The first one is to play on the sand island first. The second is to take a boat to the lake area to play. First buy a ticket to enter the scenic spot, the ticket plus boat ticket is 152 yuan per person, because to enter the scenic spot, you have to take a boat through the lake area before going to the desert. The boat passes the reeds on the lake, and you can see many birds in the reeds on the water prey. The boat passed through the reeds and came to Sand Island. Shadao is the same as Shapotou in Ningxia. They are both dependent on mountains and rivers. Sandboarding is an essential entertainment item. You can bring a shoe cover when playing to avoid shoes full of sand. There is also a camel riding experience next to the sand dunes. Many netizens have seen the camel team in the desert on TV, and they must be very curious. You can also play speedboats and water paragliders on the water. If you are tired from playing, you can go to the Wetland Museum on the island and take a break in the Chairman Mao Statue Memorial Hall. No one has ever seen it in a lifetime.

There are quite a lot of recreational facilities here. You can take a single cableway to browse the scenery of Sand Island. There are also hot air balloons on Sand Island, but the heat here is different from other places. There is no hanging basket, but a rope hanging The seat is lifted up, and people can take off after wearing a seat belt after sitting on it. The sight at high altitude is very good, and you can see the whole sand island and the lake.

There are certain reasons for the geographical location of this sand lake. There are many lakes in Ningxia, which are known as 72 connected lakes. Due to the diversion of the Yellow River, the torrents from the Ningxia Plain and Helan Mountain after the torrential rain gathered and accumulated in the barrier of Helan Mountain. Down, the sand in the two places forms an encirclement trend, forming a picture of the sand and water in the sand lake.

In the sandy lake in spring, the grass grows and the warblers fly, everything revives, and a hundred birds gather. The lake is sparkling in the distance, and under the caress of the wind, ripples are formed. Thanks to the beautiful natural environment and good wetland ecology, the birds have already migrated here. Flocks of swans, white spoonbills, herons, pochards and many other migratory birds arrived at the sand lake early, either lingering and playing, or It's resting and looking for food, and a harmonious and beautiful picture of the beautiful spring scenery is vividly displayed in front of you.

The overall feeling for the editor here is that the blue sky, the lake, the reeds, and the desert, although they are all simple scenery, they constitute a beautiful picture. The feeling is very good. There is a very large sand sculpture garden in the scenic area, which is very suitable for taking pictures. It is indeed a bit expensive to play all the entertainment facilities in the scenic spot, plus tickets, boat tickets, food and accommodation cost more than 1,000 yuan. But here is a comprehensive tourist attraction, where you can play for a whole day. Although it costs a little money, you can swim in the lake, play with sand, play in the water, watch reeds, and enjoy fish. The most important thing is here The wetland scenery and natural landscape are absolutely worthy of the title of national 5A-level scenic spot.
