The main attractions in Shahu are to watch the vast lake water, with reed swamps, waterfowls, and speedboat rides. There are natural sand slopes around the lake, so you can lie on them and bask in the sun. Sun, play sandboarding from the top of the slope, this is similar to Xiangshawan. You can also fish and go boating if you like. Young people can try the exciting projects there: jet skiing, surfing, water parachuting, desert cross-country surfing, camel riding, etc. You can also see sand sculptures.
3.1 Tour: Camel Riding
The price is 30 yuan. Camels are a bit smelly, but they are still bearable. They are very well-behaved and docile, and not dangerous at all. 4-5 A group of individuals will take you from the lower slopes to the upper slopes. There are many people riding and you need to queue up.
3.2 Fun: Sandboarding (20 yuan)/ropeway (30 yuan)
Sandboarding and ropeway can be done together. Sandboarding gives you an iron plate, sits on it, and slides down the slope. It's a bit like surfing in a water park. It's very exciting! It is recommended to choose the one that offers a free uphill cable car. The ropeway allows you to grab a rope, hang it in mid-air, and slide down the slope. I think sandboarding is more exciting. If you want to play both, you can go sandboarding first, then take the cable car up, and then the ropeway down. Be sure to apply sunscreen, and it is best to bring a hat, sunglasses and parasol, otherwise... When the weather is cool, you can take off your shoes and walk on the sand. It is very warm and comfortable, but the sand will change at noon. It's very hot, so hot that you can't stand it.
3.3 Tour: International Sand Sculpture Garden (free)
You can pay 50 yuan for a desert off-road vehicle (two-seater) to go to the sand sculpture garden, or you can walk. The desert buggy is pretty cool, and it’s not that far anyway. If you are hiking, try to stay to the side to avoid being hit by high-speed off-road vehicles. The Sand Sculpture Garden is actually pretty good, and the buildings piled up are very large and majestic.
3.4 Play: Ostrich riding (20 yuan) On the way to the sand sculpture garden, it was fun to ride an ostrich. There are three types of ostriches, walking birds, medium-speed birds and high-speed birds. Those who want to try something new Friends can choose to try walking birds.
3.5 Fun: Water sports
After passing the sand sculpture garden, there is a water park. For friends who were born in coastal cities, these ancient water sports have little appeal and feel Interested friends can give it a try. Shahu has also developed many special water sports, such as jet skis, surfing, water parachuting, etc., providing tourists who love sports and adventure with an opportunity to try their skills. Water parachute: It is towed by a high-power speedboat and relies on the high-speed speedboat to create tension to bring people into an altitude of about 50 meters above the water. The project took off naturally and landed smoothly, with no near misses. It's a pleasure to see the sights from a high position. Water scooter: Land motorcycles have been widely popular, but water scooters are less known. You might as well take a look at its lightning-fast pleasure. Water surfing: It is a thrilling entertainment activity. If you are adventurous, do you want to experience it yourself?
4. Shahu specialty food
Shahu big head fish. There are N big-headed fish restaurants at the Shahu ticket office. There are 6 or 7 ways to eat a fish for 45 yuan per pound. In fact, this big-headed fish is just an extra-large fat-headed fish. This fish has a very earthy smell and the meat is quite thick. I personally don’t think it tastes good. The other dishes made by those small shops are also average. It feels like the group meal we had during our Yunnan tour. The price is also very expensive. A plate of hot and sour potato shreds It costs 14 yuan and the environment is average.
5. Accommodation
There are very few hotels in Shahu. During the peak tourist season, because the supply of rooms exceeds demand, the price will not be low. It is best to take a bus to stay in a nearby town or city. It takes half an hour to reach Pingluo from Shahu and one hour to Yinchuan. There are many hotels to find. Affordable hotels in Shizuishan range from 15 to 100 yuan. In Yinchuan, expensive hotels range from 50 to 120 yuan for a standard room. Hotels in Pingluo are even cheaper. 6. A trip to Yinchuan to visit the surrounding scenic spots is naturally not worthwhile. Just visiting the Shahu Lake is naturally not worthwhile. Generally, if it is just a sightseeing tour, you can visit it in one day. Therefore, it is recommended to combine the surrounding scenic spots: Xixia Royal Tombs, Western China Film and Television City, Shapotou Tourist Area .
