On October 24, 2020, after breakfast at Zheshang Hotel in Shache, we set off to Zepujin Populus euphratica scenic spot, which is a 5A-level scenic spot. The picture shows the symbol stone of Populus euphratica Scenic Spot.
Zepujin Populus euphratica Scenic Spot is located in the Yasdun Forest Farm in the southwest of Zepu. The scenic spot covers an area of 40,000 mu, and the natural Populus euphratica forest covers an area of 20,000 mu. The picture shows the guide map of Populus euphratica Scenic Area.
In the distance is the majestic Kunlun Mountains, and the tributaries of the Yarkand River are rushing through the park. It is surrounded by water on three sides, and the scenery is pleasant. The snowy Kunlun and the Yarkant River jointly gave birth to this land. The photo was taken in Populus euphratica Scenic Spot.
To enter the Populus euphratica scenic spot, you have to cross a suspension bridge. The Yarkand River flows through the scenic spot. The suspension bridge not only connects the scenic spot, but also adds a scene.
The Populus euphratica in the Golden Populus euphratica Forest Park in Zepu is called "noble Populus euphratica". It does not have the vicissitudes of Populus euphratica in the desert, but it grows luxuriantly in Zepu where there is no shortage of water. The Yarkand River just turned a corner when it flowed here, and gently embraced the Populus euphratica into its arms, forming a Populus euphratica peninsula. The photo was taken in Populus euphratica Scenic Spot.
There are water depressions on the peninsula, and there are many lakes. The depressions form a clear lake one by one, and the transparent lake water forms a patch of water villages. When autumn comes, Populus euphratica is golden, and under the cover of the water, it is as beautiful as an oil painting. The photo was taken in Populus euphratica Scenic Spot.

There is a Populus euphratica tree with a height of 10.05 meters and a diameter of breast height of 1.2 meters. It has been identified as a male Populus euphratica with a growth history of thousands of years. The exuberance of it is rare in the Yarkand River Basin and even in the Northwest China. It confirms the legend that Populus euphratica is immortal for thousands of years, and is honored as "King Populus euphratica" by the local people.
Populus euphratica will not die for a thousand years while it is alive; it will not fall for a thousand years after it dies; it will not rot for a thousand years if it falls. The Populus euphratica tree behind me has lived for 1400 years.
