Hanhali Lake Resort

　　The Hanhali Lake Ecological Tourism Area is situated 7.5 kilometers north of Bayan Hushuo Town, the seat of the banner. It has a water storage capacity of 92.5 million cubic meters and a fish farming area of 1,700 hectares, with an annual maximum fish catch of 250,000 kilograms. It is a comprehensive tourism destination integrating irrigation, aquaculture, and sightseeing. Strolling along the lakeshore brings a uniquely refreshing and pleasant feeling.

　　The picturesque Hanhali Lake features a harmonious blend of mountains and water. The surrounding hills are covered with lush, verdant trees, including rare species such as Mongolian yellow elm, five-lobed maple, mulberry, and poplar. Along the edges of the lake and connecting ridges, tall willow trees abound. The grasslands in the upper and middle reaches of the streams resemble embroidered felt, with green, velvety turf dotted with colorful flowers. This is a wetland climate zone characteristic of the Horqin Grassland, and every visit here fills me with a sense of tranquility and joy.

　　Hanhali Lake boasts exceptional tourism resources. The water from the Holin River has carried high-quality flowing sand from the Horqin Sandy Land, forming pristine, soft “golden beaches” around the lake—an exceptionally rare natural spot for sunbathing on the sand. The unpolluted water nurtures “green aquatic products.” Beneath the lake lies a re-planned and renovated residential area with charming scenery. To the south of the drainage channel, thousands of acres of paddy fields are neatly arranged. Hardened dam surfaces, lighting projects, and slope beautification efforts have made the area especially picturesque. The surroundings feature distinctive “Mongolian yurts,” “fishing villages,” and “floating restaurants.” Dining here allows you to not only feast your eyes but also enjoy local Mongolian specialties and fish from Hanhali Lake. You can even savor the sought-after “green” whole fish banquet and hand-grabbed lamb, attracting a constant stream of visitors.

　　Hanhali Lake is a place of stunning beauty and unique wetland climate characteristics of the Horqin Grassland. The surrounding desert, landscapes, flowers, trees, flora, and fauna all possess distinctive features. It attracts numerous domestic and international tourists for sightseeing and holds tremendous tourism potential.

　　Hanhali Lake is breathtakingly beautiful, leaving visitors reluctant to leave. Spring visits bring the freshness of the season, summer visits offer the vibrancy of summer, while autumn and winter visits reveal entirely different sceneries and emotions.

　　Hanhali Reservoir is located 7.3 kilometers north of Baiyinhushuo in Horqin Right Middle Banner. As a medium-sized reservoir, it was formed by diverting water from the Holin River into Hanhali Lake. It serves as a comprehensive water conservancy project for flood control, irrigation, power generation, fish farming, and recreation. Completed in 1997, it has a water storage capacity of 92.5 million cubic meters, a dam length of 1,000 meters, and a dam height of 18 meters. The reservoir is surrounded by mountains on three sides and lies adjacent to National Highway 111. The surrounding area features beautiful grasslands or sparse woodlands, with clear lake water and soft, white sandy shores—perfect for swimming, boating, and recreational activities. The lake has already introduced pleasure boats, and it often welcomes visitors for tours.
