    "Traveling to Ningxia, you must not miss this good place of Shahu. It is definitely a treasure place of the same level as the western film city of Zhenbeibao~ I have long heard that Shahu Scenic Area is a "rare in the world" cultural tourist resort. This time I came to Yinchuan to travel, and finally saw this fairyland with my own eyes. The specific location of the scenic spot is in Shizuishan City, Ningxia, only 40 minutes drive from the capital Yinchuan. It belongs to the ring road of Yinchuan tourism and is also a wonderland on earth that cannot be missed when you come to Ningxia. The magic of Shahu Lake is that it perfectly integrates the scenery of the Jiangnan water town with the scenery of the Saibei Desert. Here you can see the endless desert, and you can also see the huge waters connected to the desert. Use aerial photography or climb to the top of the sand to look down. The visual impact is in place. In Shahu, you can see the five classic landscapes of "sand, water, grass, birds, mountains" at a glance. This time, you are lucky. When you come over, it just rains. Sitting on the cruise ship driving the lake, the Helan Mountain in the distance is clearly visible, and you can take a beautiful photo. How can such beauty not be shared with you? Find a time and set off to Shahu to see it~ Buy a scenic spot package, you can play in Shahu for a whole day, the price is super high!"

    "The Yellow River Grand Canyon of Qingtongxia is still very good. I have just been to the Three Gorges during the Spring Festival. There are comparisons, but each has its own characteristics. The Daxu Cultural Park is a bit tasteless, and other experiences are good. The Yellow River Grand Canyon, 108 Towers, Qingtongxia Hydropower Station, Qingtongxia Yellow River Bridge..."
