Haibowan District is one of the districts under the jurisdiction of Wuhai City in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. It is located in the western part of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and in the northeastern part of Wuhai City. Wuhai City is situated in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River, which flows through the city for 105 kilometers.Following the completion and impoundment of the Yellow River Haibowan Water Conservancy Project—a national key water conservancy project—"Wuhai Lake," covering an area of 118 square kilometers, was formed.Wuhai boasts a rich array of natural landscapes, including deserts, the Yellow River, lakes, grasslands, mountains, and wetlands. These elements combine to create a unique scenery where sand and water coexist harmoniously, mountains and water complement each other, the city lies on the lakeshore, and water flows through the city center. As a result, Wuhai is renowned as the “Pearl of the Yellow River” and the “Lake City in the Great Desert.”
