In October of this year, tourists who are used to seeing maple leaves began to look for more unique golden autumn scenery. Populus euphratica forest and red beach attracted countless eyes with their unique landscape. I went to the red beach in Panjin, Liaoning two years ago during the National Day. Yes, I almost missed Populus euphratica.
Many people think that to see Populus euphratica forest, go to Ejina Banner in Inner Mongolia. After comparing it, I think it is really expensive. Decided to go to Bachu County, Kashgar, Xinjiang. Bachu has the reputation of "the capital of Populus euphratica". The 3.16 million mu of original Populus euphratica forest represented by Xiamale Populus euphratica forest, Xiahe Populus euphratica forest, and golden Populus euphratica island is the Bachu Populus euphratica National Forest Park—— The largest contiguous natural Populus euphratica forest in the world is also the most extensive among the Populus euphratica forests in Xinjiang, known as the "sea of Populus euphratica". Among them, the ticket for the Red Sea Scenic Spot, the core scenic spot to watch the Populus euphratica forest, is only 40 yuan. During the period from the National Day to the Silk Road Culture Populus euphratica Festival on October 22, the ticket is even half price, so cheap that you can laugh. Moreover, there are no fees for many places where Populus euphratica forests are formed. Tickets for the Kashi River Silk Road Ancient Road, Xiamale Populus euphratica Forest, and Xiahe Populus euphratica Forest are all confiscated.
Therefore, this year, the Bachu Red Sea Scenic Area has become a hot spot in golden autumn, receiving a total of 75,400 tourists, a year-on-year increase of 231.5%. 492,000 tourists.
When it comes to southern Xinjiang, many people will have a picture of the Gobi Desert and the sky filled with wind and sand. However, when I came to Bachu on National Day, I found that it is beautiful and rich, with spacious and tidy streets, and better construction than many cities. In addition, besides the Gobi desert landscape, the oasis water system landscape and historical and cultural landscape are more prominent here. It is completely beyond everyone's imagination of southern Xinjiang.
The most prominent scenic spot is the Red Sea Scenic Spot, so I came to the Red Sea Scenic Area twice on October 2 and 4, and I was deeply impressed by it. The entire scenic spot takes the ancient Silk Road as the main line, and is composed of five core landscape areas, the Kashi River Silk Road Ancient Road Post Station, Folk Culture Village, Golden Populus Populus Island, Red Bay Water Park and Kashi River Wetland, integrating long-standing culture, beautiful scenery and exotic customs. As a whole, it has become a unique comprehensive tourist attraction in Xinjiang.
In the previous article, I wrote about the Kashgar River Silk Road Ancient Road Station that does not charge tickets. This article is about the next line. After entering Weitou Kingdom, where tickets are charged, I can see the beautiful scenery of the folk culture village, golden Populus euphratica Island and so on. amorous feelings.
Populus euphratica is a magical tree, which has the reputation of "living for a thousand years, not falling for a thousand years after death, and falling for a thousand years for immortality". As for the Populus euphratica in the Red Sea Scenic Area, in addition to the vicissitudes of the Populus euphratica far away from the river, the "Polar Populus euphratica" growing along the Kashgar River has another style, with luxuriant branches and beautiful shapes. The golden Populus euphratica has a unique rhythm and dynamic beauty under the sunlight. Against the blue sky, their reflections in the water are as clear as looking in a mirror. The scenes are like gorgeous watercolor paintings. Being in it, you also become a person in the painting. This beautiful scenery is not only a rich visual enjoyment, but also shocks, moves and lingers on you.
In the populus euphratica forest, there are endless scenery, colorful ethnic customs and special food. In the Red Sea Scenic Area, there are Weitou Country, Central Tribe, Ancient Road Wrestling Field, Yezhe Pavilion, Shepherd’s House, Camel Post Station, Populus Populus Mystery Garden, Farming Tribe, Bonfire Square, The First Nang Pit on the Silk Road, Lufeng Pavilion and other folk landscapes, as well as There are many beacon towers, wooden bridges and other scenic spots.
