　　The Ordos Dake Banner Shini Zhao Desert Artificial Lake Tourist Scenic Area covers an area of 54,000 mu and features three uniquely themed sightseeing zones. The first zone is located in the upper-middle reaches of Haoging River in the southeast of the Desert Water Park Tourist Area, named the Haoging River Tourist Area. The second is situated in the southwest of the Desert Water Park Tourist Area, at the foot of Yinken Sha, one of China’s eight major deserts—the Kubuqi Desert, and is called the Big Sand Forest Sightseeing Zone. A 3,000-mu high-efficiency forestry demonstration zone developed by the Inner Mongolia Forestry Department is within this scenic area. The third zone lies in the northern part of the Shini Zhao Desert Water Park Tourist Area (west of the lower Haoging River), covering an area of 3,500 mu, and is named the Shini Zhao Desert Artificial Lake Tourist Scenic Area Sightseeing Zone.
