Limited to 10 days in golden autumn! The Ejina Populus Euphratica Forest is breathtakingly beautiful

Autumn in Ejina, Inner Mongolia, is truly stunning enough to bring tears! 😭
The golden autumn scenery, limited to just 10 days each year, I finally got to see it with my own eyes this year! Totally worth the trip! 🎉

Outside the window, the leaves are colorful—golden yellow, fiery red, and lush green intertwined✨
Under the blue sky and white clouds with bright sunshine, the whole road is golden, as if stepping into a fairy tale world! 🧡

🏜️【Heicheng Ruoshui Populus Euphratica Forest】
📍 Address: Heicheng Military Cultural Relics Park, Dalaihubu Town, Ejina Banner, Alxa League, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region
📆 Best viewing period: Early to mid-October every year (only 10 days)

This is one of the four major Populus Euphratica forests in Ejina and the most pristine desert Populus Euphratica forest scenic area. Locals call it the "most beautiful Populus Euphratica forest"! Strolling through the golden grassland, every snapshot is wallpaper-worthy 📸

In the same forest, you can see:
✔️ Populus Euphratica in the desert
✔️ Populus Euphratica along the riverbank
✔️ Populus Euphratica reflected in the water
✔️ Distant groups of Populus Euphratica
✔️ The 1,400-year-old Mother Populus Euphratica (a millennial sacred tree!)
✔️ A golden carpet covered with fallen leaves

Golden Populus Euphratica + blue sky and clear water, this oil painting-like scenery is outrageously beautiful!

💛 Super practical travel tips:
✅ Highly recommend independent travel, not group tours! More freedom and better experience
✅ Must arrive before 9 AM! The sunlight is just right 🌅 and the golden leaves will glow✨
✅ Fewer people in the morning, perfect for photos; tour groups arrive around noon
✅ The scenic area is huge—recommend spending a whole day (the ticket is totally worth it!)
