Site description (2009 baseline)
Hasuhai is located on the flood plain of the northern bank of the Huang He (Yellow River), in an old channel of the river. The southern section of the lake has extensive reedbeds and bulrushes suitable for breeding birds, and the IBA is an important breeding and staging area for waterbirds.
