In the vast desert, wandering in Aksu National Wetland Park, a lake with clear water and blue waves, wild flowers everywhere, clear lake, three or five egrets walking leisurely. What is particularly eye-catching is the purple verbena all over the garden, swaying with the wind in the sunset, attracting many tourists to take pictures.
Aksu Duolang River National Wetland Park is located in the northwest of Aksu City, to the border with Wensu County in the north, to the Aksu Canal in the east, to the north of the south line of National Highway 314 in the south, and to Yiganqi Township in the west. It is located on the Aksu River Alluvial fan. At present, this is the largest national wetland park in southern Xinjiang.
Aksu National Wetland Park is the "kidney" of the city of Aksu. In the park, the air in the park is humid, the lake is wide, and egrets are foraging in the shallows. Or groups of three or five, or a single flying waterfowl, shuttle freely in various lakes, and become the pictures captured by the lens of photographers.
This wetland park with lush water and grass seems to be "on the south of the Yangtze River". There are not only plants such as strange willows, licorice, and Haloxylon distributed here, but also rare wild animals such as golden eagles, egrets, Tarim rabbits, and Xinjiang bighead fish. These scenes that appeared in travel documentaries in the past can now be seen in Aksu National Wetland Park.
The water area of Aksu Duolanghe National Wetland Park accounts for 65% of the whole park, and the water source is snow water from Tianshan Mountains. The construction of the park insists on making a fuss about "water". Through measures such as expanding canals to divert water and building canals to divert floods, the water area in the upper reaches of the Duolang River landscape belt has expanded by more than 1,000 mu, and more than 200 mu of aquatic plants have been planted to build an ecological protection and restoration area.
Beside the clear lake, three or five egrets take a leisurely walk. On one side of the lake, there are rows of thick willow trees with luxuriant branches and leaves. When the breeze blows, the willow branches gently "touch" the water surface, rippling and rippling. Wildflowers everywhere, clear lakes, and stretches of purple verbena have become places where tourists rush to take pictures. These are comparable to the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan water town.
In the park, climb up to the Shuiyue Observation Deck to have a view of "all the mountains at a glance". The park is dominated by lakes and wetlands. Overlooking the whole park, it looks like a moving ink painting. There are flying waterbirds on the lake, and they are free to shuttle in various lakes. , the patches of wild flowers under the setting sun have become the best background for tourists to take pictures, and they have also become a place for tourists to linger and forget to return.
Wandering in the Aksu Duolanghe National Wetland Park, there are a large number of flowers and trees and shrubs planted in the park. Among them, the rare flower varieties include Malan, sage, coreopsis, black chrysanthemum, peony, peony, four seasons rose, etc.
The most eye-catching thing in this season is the purple verbena all over the garden. In the sunset, the pieces of verbena sway with the wind, and a bay of clear water opens a mirror, sparkling and forming a painting screen. Under the hot summer sun, Aksu Duolanghe National Wetland Park is full of tourists.
At present, there are more than 10 kinds of national second-class protected plants such as tamarisk, licorice, and Haloxylon in Aksu National Wet Park, and 7 kinds of national first-class protected animals, such as golden eagle, black stork, and Xinjiang bighead fish, as well as Tarim rabbits, egrets, herons, etc. In addition, there are more than 70 species of key protected animals in the autonomous region, and the biodiversity has steadily increased.
In the evening, we walked into the Wetland Park along the direction of the Water Curtain Cave in the second phase of the Duolang River, as if stepping into a thick and colorful ink painting, which made people linger and forget to return. There is a row of bicycles for two or four people at the entrance that can be rented. It must be a very pleasant thing for a few friends to ride a bicycle together to go to the park.
The greatest value of Aksu National Wetland Park lies in the restoration of pastoral systems and the development of smart agriculture. Through comprehensive restoration projects such as water network connection, water system dredging, pipe network sewage interception, and water ecological restoration, clean water is continuously delivered to the Duolang River area running through the city for nearly 10 kilometers from north to south with 5-8 flows per day, improving the city Environmental quality of landscape water.
National wetland parks play a huge role in water conservation, water storage and flood detention, water purification, and maintenance of natural ecological balance. By promoting land clearing, planning control, and returning farmland to forests, etc., nearly 10,000 mu of agricultural land and construction land around the wetland will be effectively included in the scope of government control, development will be restricted, and planting will be guided. This area will regain the rural vitality of the suburbs.
Aksu National Wetland Park protects water sources, stores water and detains floods, purifies water quality, and maintains a healthy natural ecological balance. It provides habitats and breeding environments for wild animals and plants, and at the same time meets tourists' demand for wetland sightseeing. Plants get in close contact with nature and live in harmony with nature, leaving a home of blue sky, green water and clear water for future generations.
