Ningxia Shahu Lake: A magical journey to the pearl of the north, with irresistible charm!

Shahu Lake is located in Pingluo County, Shizuishan City, in the northern part of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. It is situated at the foot of Helan Mountain and the golden bank of the Yellow River, and is the largest natural lake in Ningxia. The area is rich in tourism resources and boasts breathtaking scenery. The lake, sand dunes, reeds, birds, fish, distant mountains, and colorful lotuses blend perfectly. Major attractions include the Shahu International Sand Sculpture Park, Bird Island (Hundred Birds Park), Lake East Wetland (Bird Observation Station), New Gate Square, and Shahu Inscription Stone. In 2013, it was selected as one of CCTV's "Top Ten Charming Wetlands in China," and in 2018, it was one of the "50 Scenic Spots of the Yellow River in China." It also won the 2018 "Best Ecotourism Destination" award from "China National Tourism." Here's a travel guide: First, visit the Shahu International Sand Sculpture Park to experience the magical collision of art and sand. Then, head to Bird Island to see hundreds of birds soaring and get close to nature. Next, take a stroll in the Lake East Wetland and admire various rare birds at the Bird Observation Station. You can take photos at New Gate Square, and finally, appreciate the cultural heritage of Shahu Lake by the Shahu Inscription Stone. Come to Shahu Lake and embark on a magical journey!
