Shihezi Beihu Park

　　 Here, corridors, pavilions, and water docks have been built, along with speedboats, sightseeing boats, jet skis, and water landing platforms. Activities include swimming, boating, surfing, and fishing. Currently, the scenic area features glistening waters, speeding speedboats, leisurely sightseeing boats, couples strolling hand in hand, the winding Long Dam, and willows embracing the shore. Anglers relax at ease, swimmers tread the waves, while dozens of water birds such as swans and wild geese play in the lake. The scene is complemented by rockeries and ancient pavilions, creating a picturesque view reminiscent of the water towns of southern China.

　　 Every year on July 16th, the grand "Beihu Festival" takes place. On that day, people come from all directions to go boating, swimming, singing, dancing, fishing, and having picnics. The melodies of the dombra and rawap resonate around the lake from morning till night, and there are thousands of food stalls offering local delicacies such as grilled lamb, laghman noodles, pilaf, and liangpi cold noodles. Add to that the fragrant and colorful fruits, the warm and beautiful local girls, and you have a unique cultural phenomenon of Shihezi.
