Qikainao

"Qikainao" is a Mongolian term meaning "Fragrant Horse Milk Lake." Throughout history, eminent monks, referencing the Mongolian belief in the sanctity of horse milk, bestowed upon it the name "Fragrant Horse Milk Lake." Since then, the area has enjoyed favorable weather and bountiful harvests. In gratitude, the people who benefited from this blessing built the "Dragon King Temple" on the west side and the "Naogaobule Temple" on the east side of "Qikainao."

The fishing industry in the Qikainao tourist area has a long history. Since its establishment as a farm in 1958, it has developed into a leisure tourism zone covering an area of 15,000 mu, integrating fishery production with tourism. The area is home to over ten species of natural fish, as well as dozens of bird species such as Relict Gulls, Swan Geese, and Egrets. The tourist area enjoys a pleasant climate and beautiful scenery. A variety of recreational activities are now available, including water sports, sandy beach bathing, horseback hunting, grassland sightseeing, and fishing. A rich "All-Fish Banquet" and the uniquely flavored hand-grabbed lamb will surely delight your taste buds.
