This July, Mingcui Lake National Wetland Park in Yinchuan, Ningxia Hui autonomous region, is ready to meet the demands of all travelers embarking on a summer tour with an emphasis on health and natural beauty.
Mingcui Lake welcomes the most beautiful lotus season of the year this month. Ambling along the lakeside trail, visitors will feel the healing power of the lush plants and blooming lotus flowers in a "sea" of tranquility.

Taking a sightseeing ship will surely add more fun to your journey. A cruise ship sails into the winding waterway, with layers of reeds swaying gently in the wind on both sides, and the scent of vegetation wafting in, instantly dispelling the summer heat.
The animal zoo located in the scenic area may be the best cure for stressed out parents and hyperactive kids. Visitors can feed and interact with over a dozen cute animals such as alpacas, groundhogs, and squirrels.
The Starry Sky Art Museum in the scenic area is suitable for those looking to cool off. It features nine themed scenes, including the Mirror Maze, Jellyfish House, and Time Tunnel, all filled with the interplay of light and shadow.
The barbecue area in the scenic area is open in the daytime. The entire area is equipped with a canopy, which is cool and comfortable without leaving any unwanted sun exposure.
With the wind and lotus fragrance washing over the lake, visitors can have a leisurely chat with family or friends while tucking into some delicious food and enjoying a relaxing summer getaway.
