Xinjiang's Populus Euphratica Forest

Late September to late October is the perfect time to witness the changing colors of the leaves in the Populus Euphratica Forest. This unique spectacle only occurs once a year. As a 5A-level tourist attraction in southern Xinjiang, the highlight is the golden forest scenery during autumn, covering an area of over 26 square kilometers. Visitors don't need to walk through the entire area as there are park trams available, with five major stops where you can get off to enjoy the views. One of the highlights is a 3,000-year-old Populus Euphratica tree, where tourists often make wishes by tying red ribbons. Additionally, there is a boat service offering another route to admire the beauty of the forest. Everywhere you look, the scenery is breathtakingly beautiful, leaving you in awe. Simply saying 'beautiful' feels insufficient.
