Shahu (Sand Lake), one of the top 10 holiday destinations in Ningxia Hui autonomous region, features a captivating landscape of deserts, lakes, reeds, birds, fish, mountains and lotuses. To enhance your experience there, choosing unique accommodations is essential.

There are three lodging options in the scenic area that beautifully integrate the stay experience with the natural surroundings.

The first is a homestay designed to resemble pure white eggshells. The egg-shaped houses are scattered among the reeds along the lakeshore, creating a stunning artistic effect. Each egg house is equipped with large observation windows, allowing tourists to enjoy the breathtaking lake view while lying in bed.

The third one is Earth House Homestay, with a large terrace facing the lake directly. It features a hidden lift bed with a futuristic feel.
