 On the southern edge of the Junggar Basin, in the Gobi Desert in the eastern part of the Gurbantunggut Desert, there is a Populus euphratica forest with a long history, which is the original Populus euphratica forest in Mulei. This Populus euphratica forest of more than 30 square kilometers has a history of at least 65 million years, and is the oldest primitive Populus euphratica forest in the world.

Populus euphratica is a primitive tree species with strong vitality and has always been hailed as a warrior against the desert. The "ancestral wood" found here has a diameter of 3.1 meters and is known as the "World King of Populus euphratica". The magnificent landscape of Populus euphratica "lives for three thousand years without dying, dies for three thousand years without falling, and falls for three thousand years for immortality" can be seen here at a glance, which can be called "the grand view garden of Populus euphratica".
