Growing up in the south, I have always had a longing for the Northwest. I want to see the golden beauty in autumn, understand the different customs, and see the different scenery. I want to run in the desert and roll in the sand. I want to see the long-awaited Ejina Populus euphratica forest, so we are here this holiday!


Preparations before departure:
1. Find the cities closest to Populus euphratica Forest on the Internet

The Populus euphratica Forest Scenic Spot in the Desert is composed of 6 scenic spots, which integrate Populus euphratica, red willow, desert, Juyan culture and Mongolian customs.


We got up early to watch the sunrise by the Ruoshui River, and then went to the desert pastoral sightseeing area around 8 o'clock, and we came out after about half an hour of sightseeing. It really feels different to visit the Populus euphratica forest in the sightseeing car in the scenic area, and it feels like entering the painting. We also saw camels, so cute. At noon, we went to the Turghut Tribe and took a lunch break for about an hour. After a good rest, we set off to Hongliu Bay and Ruyi Bridge. Because we went to the Tengger Desert, we didn't check in the desert station. It was six o'clock in the afternoon after visiting these two places, and our time was basically wasted on taking pictures. It's a pity that there are still many scenic spots in the scenic spot that we haven't seen. The Populus euphratica forest at night is another kind of scenery, and it is a blockbuster if you take a casual photo.

At night, we live in the shell house in the park. Look at our shell house at night.

Expenses: My friend and I spent about 1,000 yuan for accommodation, and about 800 yuan for meals for two people, without detailed calculation.
About wearing and taking pictures
It is recommended to wear a red skirt, which will stand out under the overall reflection. If you take a photo, you can take a good-looking photo.


Tips that have to be seen:
1. Transportation: It is recommended to charter a car or travel in a group. It will be very hard to drive a long distance.
2. Food: mainly beef, mutton, and pasta. The meat is really delicious and enjoyable, but the vegetables are less and more expensive.
3. Clothes: There is a large temperature difference between day and night. You can wear long skirts or thin jackets during the day, but you have to rely on down jackets at night.
