Ejina Banner Populus Euphratica Forest Real Shots & Nanny-Level Guide｜Capture the Golden Fairy Tale World Off-Peak

Visiting Ejina Banner Populus Euphratica Forest during the National Day holiday and arriving a day early off-peak was totally worth it! Fewer people and beautiful scenery on the day of entry made it easy to take stunning photos without crowds📸

This year, autumn arrived early. Currently, 60% of the Populus euphratica forest is golden, officially entering the best viewing period～
