Hotan, Xinjiang, is famous for its jade, which is the famous Hotan jade since ancient times. However, the beauty of Hetian is not only jade, but also the charming scenery. In the golden autumn, the Populus euphratica in Hotan is also gilded with a golden color, which is dazzlingly beautiful. Standing tall and high in the vast desert, it looks like oil paintings carefully carved by painters.
Populus euphratica
Hetian is sparsely populated, and there are large tracts of Populus euphratica growing here. The closest to the town is the Populus euphratica forest in the desert, which is indeed "Pulphus euphratica" rather than "Pullar euphratica". This is the name of this Populus euphratica forest. It is named after a clear and bright lake. When the golden Populus euphratica on the shore is reflected on the lake, it is very beautiful. In Hotan in late autumn, the sky is spotless, clear and clear. Populus euphratica trees are tall and straight. Walking along the sand dunes and plank roads, you can see the beautiful scenery in front of your eyes.
Kunlun Mountains
Leaving the Populus euphratica Forest, go straight along the Kunlun Sky Road, gradually the desert becomes less and less, and you can see the snow-capped mountains in the distance. As the altitude gets higher and higher, grasslands begin to appear, and the hills with golden yellow weeds are connected to the blue sky with beautiful lines. You don’t need to get too close. Standing on the roadside at the top of the mountain, you can see the majestic, majestic and majestic Kunlun Mountains. The white snow covers the peaks and emits a charming light under the sunshine.
other attractions
Hotan is the location of the ancient city of Jingjue written in the novel "Ghost Blowing the Lantern". The Niya site is the former site of the ancient Jingjue country in the Han and Jin Dynasties. In the desert, it is a national cultural relic protection unit. The desert is desolate, the autumn grass is chilling, coupled with the ruins of an ancient city that has been left for thousands of years, there must be a lot of emotion in my heart.
When you come to Hotan, you can’t miss the Silk Road. There is a section of the Southern Silk Road. There are many ancient cities, grottoes and other cultural sites along the route, as well as charming natural scenery. Walking on the Silk Road, you can slowly appreciate it by riding a camel. Thousands of years ago it was bustling and in a hurry. Hotan’s delicacies are also must-try. If you can’t go to Hotan in person, you can also go to Bianlifeng to buy Hotan’s specialties and enjoy it.
