Shahu, located in Pingluo County about 50 kilometers northwest of Yinchuan City, is an eco-tourism scenic spot that integrates the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River and the desert scenery. The Sand Lake Scenic Area is composed of the lake area in the north and the desert area in the south. The desert area has a lake on one side and an artificial canal on the other. It is not connected to the land. You must buy a cruise ticket to go to the desert area.

In the lake area, you can see the rippling lake water, the green lotus garden lined with red, and clusters of emerald green reeds, a scenery of a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. When you take a cruise ship and arrive at the desert area in the south of the scenic spot, you will see a stretch of golden and dazzling sand dunes, showing the majestic style of the northern desert. In the desert area, you also have the opportunity to enjoy exotic sand sculptures made by artists from various countries. Every summer, the International Sand Sculpture Festival is held here.

The sand lake is also a good place for bird watching. Spot-billed ducks, red-billed ducks and herons breed in the lake area. In addition, there are a large number of migratory birds, which are mainly concentrated in the two periods of April-May and September-October each year. During the migratory bird season, there are hundreds of birds contending here. When the birds fly up, it is very spectacular to cover the sky and block out the sun. In winter, there are also ice sculpture displays and ski resorts in the sand lake.
