"Born for a thousand years and will not die, but will not fall for a thousand years after death, and will be immortal after a thousand years." During the golden autumn season, more than 15 million acres of primitive Populus euphratica forests in the Tarim River Basin in southern Xinjiang are stained. Under the sun, they are golden and breathtakingly beautiful. , Usher in the best viewing period of the year.
The vast majority of Populus euphratica in the world grows in China, and nearly 90% of Populus euphratica grows in the Tarim River Basin in Xinjiang, which is the most concentrated, most well-preserved and most representative area of the world’s primitive Populus euphratica forests.
Over the years, Xinjiang has continued to transport ecological water to the lower reaches of the Tarim River, and the coastal ecology has been continuously restored. The original Populus euphratica forest has gradually "revived", and a large number of seedlings have emerged.
Every autumn, the primitive Populus euphratica forests on both sides of the Tarim River welcome a large number of tourists from all over the country. The golden Populus euphratica has become a unique tourism business card in Xinjiang.
