[2025 Bohu Attraction] Travel Guide for Lotus Sea World (Updated Apr)

Bohu County is named after the country's largest inland freshwater lake, Bosten Lake. Bosten Lake Attraction has become the eighth national 5A-level tourist area in Xinjiang. Bosten Lake has a long history, brilliant culture, many moving legends, and unique ethnic customs. Bosten Lake has beautiful natural scenery. There are the largest wild water lilies in the country and a large number of migratory birds in the lake. It is a good place for people to visit, relax, vacation, live and work. The lake area is rich in tourism resources and beautiful natural scenery. The lake water, the source of life, the desert of the sea of death, the wetland of the kidney of the earth, and the Mongolian characteristics of the horse-riding people are organically integrated to form a stunning and beautiful landscape. In spring, the lake view is like a poem and a picture; in summer, you can board a boat to cruise the lake and cut through the waves; in autumn, you can row a boat to taste the lake and feel relaxed and happy; in winter, the lake is frozen for thousands of miles and the surface is like a mirror. Visitors can swim in the "West Sea" without distraction between the blue sky and clear water, or savor the delicious wild fish soup of "West Sea First Pot" in the picturesque scenery. The charming scenery of the scenic Attraction in different seasons presents different unique charms. There are scenery in four seasons, and there are emotions in four seasons. Ahongkou is the largest wild water lily scenic Attraction in China. 400,000 mu of wild water lilies grow by the water. It is known as the pearl necklace of Bosteng Lake. During the May Day holiday, the ten thousand mu of wild water lilies in Ahongkou Attraction are vying to emerge from the water and the best viewing period. The clear lake water, the graceful water lilies, and the wild water lilies that have been sleeping under the water for the whole winter are particularly eye-catching under the swaying of wind and waves. Take a boat on the water "painted boat" to the center of the lake. The dancing lotus leaves on the water reflect the entire lake red, which makes tourists reluctant to leave. In particular, the noble quality of lotus "coming out of the mud without being stained" is also a good classroom for many parents and elders to educate their children. Because the wild water lilies have just emerged from the water, their leaves are bright red and their branches are about to bloom, they are also symbolized as "prosperous" and "a good start", so every year during the May Day holiday, tourists rush to watch and pray for a "prosperous" and "good start" family and career in the year. The charming scenery and humanistic culture of the Ahongkou Attraction are also known as the "first scene" of the opening of the Bosten Lake Attraction. It is the "first stop" where tourists must experience blessings every year. Bosten Lake is one of the "four major reed areas" in the country, with nearly 600,000 mu of wild reeds. Through artificial cultivation and natural renewal, during the May Day holiday every year, 600,000 mu of wild reeds in Ahongkou pierce the water and grow new buds. At a glance, it fully shows the tenacity and poetry of Li Bai's "wildfires cannot burn them all, and spring breezes blow them back to life" The dense green reeds and crisscrossing walking paths in the Attraction together form a huge and mysterious "green maze". Once you stray into the depths of the reed lake, you will feel like you are in a "maze". You can experience a wetland adventure trip, which attracts many outdoor explorers every year. Because the air rich in natural negative oxygen ions from wild reeds can help the human body regulate cardiopulmonary function, during the holidays, there are more "green field tracking" treasure hunting, camping and other activities that students and children love, allowing you and your family to enjoy the fun of the fairyland in the natural reed maze. The waters of Bosten Lake are famous at home and abroad for their abundant fish, lush grass and abundant wild delicacies. The five-way black carp of childhood, wild big grass carp, fierce big black fish, nutritious pond elm, mysterious "travel to the west fish", and delicious "grilled wild fish" are all available in the Ahongkou Attraction. The fish in Ahongkou Attraction constantly challenges the taste buds of tourists with their unique "wild flavor, fresh and delicious, spicy and refreshing, spicy and fragrant flavor". The Attraction has a unique traditional secret grilled fish, which is delicious and affordable, and all uses wild ingredients. Especially wild fresh crucian carp is a good tonic for women and children. Tourists can also experience the activities of catching and grilling fish on the spot with their families under the guidance of the grilled fish master. It is also a paradise for many food lovers and foodies. Ahongkou Attraction is also the largest wetland park in Bosten Lake. Due to its humid climate and lush aquatic plants, it attracts a large number of rare water birds during the May Day holiday every year to build nests and reproduce. In order to protect and care for nature and our common friends, the Attraction has built an artificial bird island specifically for these water birds. There are many species of birds on the island, which is a paradise of aquatic plants where water birds and humans live in harmony. In the early morning, cormorants and fishermen go boating to fish, egrets and wild ducks compete for dance at noon, and swans fall in love in pairs in the evening. Ospreys are circling in the sky, water chickens are flocking on the water, kingfishers are flying in the reed marshes, and ducks are chasing each other under the water. When tourists pass by on speedboats, hundreds of birds on the water and reed marshes are singing, vying to fly up, and it is extremely lively. Ahongkou Scenic Attraction is also a "romantic island" for young people to meet, spend a lifetime of vacation and hold hands. It is the "viewing spot" for wedding photography in the whole Bazhou. It is also known as the "holy land of courtship". There is a love motto: "If you love her, take her to Ahongkou Bird Island to confess your love." Ahongkou Attraction has a wide water area, the water is blue, the vision is vast, and the water transportation is luxurious and atmospheric, suitable for all ages. There are young people who like to pursue excitement here, and the lake speedboats as fast as the "Heaven Thunder" pierce the lake surface in an instant and gallop freely; there are adults who like to express their feelings for the mountains and rivers, and the "painted boats" on the water with a very "Chinese style" let you and your family and elders enjoy the poetry and relief of the Jiangnan water town and the light boat passing through thousands of mountains. You can also take a speedboat or a pleasure boat to the "Lotus Sea Pavilion" in the Attraction, where you can experience the grand and fascinating "overlooking all the mountains". Climbing to the top of the "Lotus Sea Pavilion", you can see the charming scenery of the Attraction, which is also a sacred place for journalists and photography enthusiasts. Looking across the water, the mysterious "colorful landscape" formed by the water and sky of Ahongkou, thousands of acres of water lilies, thousands of hectares of reeds, and hundreds of miles of desert complement each other. Let you completely wash away the troubles and sorrows that have been lingering for a long time and return to yourself.
