The only inland lake in Hohhot once faced the crisis of drying up, and now quite five West Lakes are worth visiting.

In Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, there is a magical water area.

It is the only inland lake in Hohhot, but its water surface area is equivalent to five West Lakes in Hangzhou. This is Hasuhai, known as the West Lake beyond the Great Wall, and it is the first choice for Hohhot citizens to enjoy the cool and summer vacation in summer. This summer, let's have a wonderful trip to Hasselblad Sea!

The area of West Lake in Hangzhou is 6.38 square kilometers. The Hasuhai Lake in Hohhot covers an area of 32 square kilometers, which is equivalent to five West Lakes in Hangzhou.

Hasuhai, located in Tuzuoqi, Hohhot, is not a sea, but a lake. Why is it called sea?

It turns out that Mongols have always called the lake on the grassland "Haizi", so it is called Hasuhai, not Hasuhai.

Hasuhai, formerly known as "Halawusu", translated into Chinese means Blackwater Lake. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, a large number of Han Chinese in Shanxi moved here, and gradually referred to as Halawusu Hasuhai because of unobstructed reasons.

The Yellow River flows through Hohhot, and there are many rivers in the waters, but why does a Hasselblad Sea form in Tuzuoqi?

It turns out that the Hasuhai area is low-lying, and some rivers and summer rainwater often gather here to form lakes.

However, the beauty of Hasuhai today is not pure natural, but has been protected and built by generations.

In the past, Hasuhai was greatly affected by the weather because it was not connected with the Yellow River. When there is little rain, the lake in Hasuhai often dries up, which is described as "little pity".

Hasuhai reached its present scale through human intervention.

1962 build Minsheng canal to introduce the Yellow River water from Baotou Dengkou to Hasuhai. Later, dams and pumping stations were built, which saved Hasuhai from the worry of drying up and formed a stable artificial freshwater lake. During the Twelfth Five-Year Plan period, Hasuhai Wetland Nature Reserve was upgraded to a national nature reserve.

Therefore, today's Hasuhai is semi-artificial and semi-natural. As the saying goes, "a beautiful jade comes from heaven, and one person makes a tool."

In recent years, tourism has developed vigorously. After development, Hasuhai has become a national 4A-level scenic spot and tourist attraction.

Now, it is the best tourist season in Hasuhai. Because it is close to the water, the climate here is cool and pleasant, and it is a summer resort.

Not only that, there are many entertainment projects here, which attract tourists from all over the world. Especially friends who like to play with water, it is worth a day.

Water, reeds, wild flowers, lotus flowers ... The beautiful and sparkling Hasselblad Sea in the scenic area has both vast grasslands and tenderness like Jiangnan.

There are also scenic spots such as highway around the sea, wharf, Swan Castle hot spring, water park, main square and grassland cultural area. There are hotels in the scenic area, and there are plenty of fish and shrimp. The whole fish feast is very worth tasting.

The drive from Hohhot to Hasuhai is about 1 hour.

This year, perhaps due to the epidemic, Hasuhai has resumed business, but there is no bustling scene of people, and some indoor and outdoor facilities are not open.

Take today as an example, the Swan Castle Hot Spring in Hasuhai is open normally, but the Hasuhai Water Park and Hasuhai Wharf are closed. You can see if it's on before you go out.

But many friends feel that there are not many people, not crowded and very comfortable.

Moreover, the scenic spots have also introduced preferential policies. For example, the original price of Swan Castle Hot Spring1adult (excluding meals) tickets in 59 yuan are now only 90 yuan, including tickets+hot spring soup+24-hour entertainment and rest in the leisure area, that is, 24 hours.

This summer, it is better to go to Hasuhai and enjoy the unique inland lake in Hohhot.
