1. Arrive at Shahu Lake

The shuttle bus from Dawukou Bus Station in Shizuishan to Shahu Lake runs every hour. The fare is 5 yuan, and the taxi ride is about 4 yuan. If there are many people, it is more cost-effective. It's a 15-minute drive from Shahu Avenue. Take the tourist shuttle bus from the south gate of Yinchuan to Shahu Lake. The fare is 1 yuan, and the journey takes about 1 hour and 3 minutes. If you drive there, it will take you more than 4 minutes from the old city of Yinchuan. Take a long-distance bus at Yinchuan North Gate Bus Station, and the fare is 14 yuan, which takes about 4-5 minutes by car. Departure time: from April 2th to October 2th, every half hour from 8: am to 1: 3 am. You can also take a taxi, which takes about the same time as a bus.

2. Tickets for Shahu Lake

There are four kinds of tickets for Shahu Lake: 8 for big boats, 1 for big boats (Shangniao Island), 12 for fast boats and 14 for speedboats (Shangniao Island). A big ship is a sightseeing ferry that can accommodate many people. The speedboat has three specifications: 4 people, 6 people and 9 people. 3. Amusement projects

The main pleasure of Shahu Lake is to watch the vast lake, with reeds, waterfowl and speedboats. The lakeside is full of natural sand slopes, where you can lie in the sun and play sand skiing from the top, which is similar to Xiangshawan. If you like, you can also go fishing and boating. Young people can try the exciting projects there: jet skis, surfing, water parachutes, desert cross-country surfing, camel riding and so on. In addition, you can see sand sculptures.

3.1 Play: Riding a camel

The price is 3 yuan. Camels are a little smelly, but they are tolerable. They are very good and gentle, and there is no danger at all. A group of 4-5 people will take you from the bottom of the slope to the top. There are many people riding, so we need to queue up.

3.2 play: sand skiing (2 yuan)/ropeway (3 yuan)

just play one of sand skiing and ropeway. Sand skiing is to give you an iron plate, sit on it and slide down the slope, which is a bit like surfing in a water park. It's very exciting! It is recommended to choose the one that gives away the uphill cable car for free. Cableway is to let you grab a rope and hang it in mid-air and slide down the slope. I think sand skiing is more exciting. If you want to play both, you can play sand skiing first, then take the cable car up and down. Be sure to wear sunscreen, and you'd better bring a hat, sunglasses and a parasol, otherwise ... you can take off your shoes and walk on the sand in cool weather, which is very warm and comfortable, but the sand will become very hot at noon, which is beyond your endurance.

3.3 Play: International Sand Sculpture Garden (free)

You can pay 5 yuan for a desert off-road vehicle (two seats) to go to the sand sculpture garden or walk. The desert SUV is cool, but it's not far anyway. If you are hiking, try to stay aside to avoid being hit by a high-speed off-road vehicle. The sand sculpture garden is actually quite good, and the buildings piled up are very big and magnificent.

3.4 Play: Riding an ostrich (2 yuan) On the way to the Sand Sculpture Garden, there is riding an ostrich, which is very fun. There are three types of ostriches: walking birds, medium-speed birds and high-speed birds. Friends who want to try early can choose walking birds to try.

3.5 Play: Water sports

After the sand sculpture garden, it is a water park. For friends born in coastal cities, these ancient water sports have little attraction. Interested friends can try them. Shahu Lake has also developed many special water sports, such as jet skis, surfing, water parachutes, etc., which provides an opportunity for tourists who love sports and like adventure to try their hand. Water parachute: pulled by a high-powered speedboat, the high-speed speedboat forms tension to take people to an altitude of about 5 meters above the water. The project was launched naturally, landed smoothly and narrowly missed. With high attendance, it is enjoyable. Water motorbike: Land motorbikes have been widely used, but water motorbikes are little known. You may wish to enjoy its lightning-fast pleasure for a while. Surfing on the water: it is a thrilling entertainment. Do you want to experience it yourself if you like adventure?

4. Shahu special food

Shahu bighead fish. There are n bighead fish shops in the ticket office of Shahu Lake. There are 6 or 7 ways to eat a fish, and 45 yuan weighs a catty. In fact, this bighead fish is just a big fat fish. The fishy smell of this fish is very strong, and the meat is quite thick. Personally, it is not delicious. Other dishes cooked in those small shops are also average. It feels like the team meal level of our Yunnan tour, and the price is particularly expensive. A plate of hot and sour potato shreds costs 14 pieces, and the environment is very average.

5. Accommodation

There are few hotels in Shahu Lake. In the tourist season, because the demand for rooms is in short supply, the price will not be low. It is best to stay in nearby towns and cities by car. Shahu Lake takes half an hour to Pinluo and one hour to Yinchuan. There are many hotels to find. The affordable hotels in Shizuishan range from 15 to 1 yuan, and the standard rooms of expensive hotels in Yinchuan range from 5 to 12. The hotels in Pingluo will be cheaper. 6. A trip to Yinchuan, the surrounding scenic spots, and a visit to Shahu Lake are naturally not worthwhile. Generally, if you just watch and visit, you can visit it once a day. Therefore, it is recommended to combine the surrounding scenic spots: Xixia Mausoleum, Huaxia Western Film and Television City and Shapotou Tourist Area.
