Travel guide to the Desert Poplar Forest Scenic Spot
Life is a kind of cultivation, and the poplar has used 3,000 years of waiting to hammer this cultivation into a stunning landscape.
A thousand years of watchfulness, a thousand years of custom, every practice, will eventually be engraved by the years.
Living to be a thousand years old, not falling down after death, not extinguished after a thousand years, this is how persistent and perseverance. A thousand years of standing, a thousand years of waiting, a thousand years of loneliness! This is the desert "hero" poplar forest!
A Zhang Yimou movie "Hero" let more people understand the desert poplar forest. The image of Zhang Koyi and Zhang Ziyi fighting here was more of a distraction than a fight, but more of a drawing.
This strangely painted place is located in the westernmost part of the Alashan League in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Its name is Ejinagi Banner.
City full of golden flowers, the desert poplar forest, has been poplar complex to the late fall. Is the flow of years, is the vigorous life.
It is also the poplar landscape, desert poplar scenic spot newly developed wonderland. Low-key to heartbreaking. Definitely the most worthwhile place to go, while the traditional old scenic area is overcrowded, looking at the crowd.
Ejina Banner poplar forest is one of the world's three remaining poplar forests, desert poplar forest is one of its important components. It has the most spectacular scenery in the world, the largest number of thousand-year-old trees, and the densest poplar forest. It's great to take pictures.
The Desert Poplar Forest Scenic Spot consists of five scenic spots, integrating poplar, red willow, desert, Juyan culture, and Mongolian style, covering an area of 15 square kilometers, and possessing the only labels in the world, such as Desert World Geopark and National Geopark.
With the autumn wind sweeping through the tail of September, the poplar scenic spot in the desert will usher in the best splendor of the four seasons. Every poplar, every grain of fine sand, becomes the master of color, becoming the most beautiful autumn color in China. Each year stunning the world, dreaming unlike the world, the value is ridiculously high.
"Meet Ejina, the secret world, must tour the desert poplar forest."
Ejina Desert Poplar Forest Scenic Spot is a project built by Alashan Juyan Chenglong Culture and Tourism Development Co. in accordance with the national 5A scenic spot standard.In November 2016, it was awarded as the national 4A level tourism scenic spot, and it is very close to Dalehubu Town, the county town of Ejinagi Banner, which is only 1.2 kilometers away.
The network hit drama "martial arts Qiankun", "sand sea", the reality show "right away" and other columns and crews. Really good at choosing the scene, a long way to come to take pictures, so that the poplar forest in the desert has become the "Pearl of the Desert". Poplar in the water, weak water river, Liu Hongwan, desert field, desert station five attractions. Visitors can feel the poplar in all aspects by observing the poplar in the air and the poplar at night. Special herder's attractions such as Turquoise family, poplar women's home, and Nazge health care base make visitors feel the pure and authentic food and folklore, which makes all the tourists praised.
The poplar grows on saline soil, but its children are not too ugly for their mothers. It has provided an oasis for the desert with its lifelong stationing, blooming with the most surging and brilliant colors of life.
When the autumn wind blows, the poplar takes off its summer clothes and puts on its golden garments overnight.
Coming to Ejinar in the golden fall every year is the least respect for the desert poplar forest.
In the desert poplar scenic spot, you can choose to take a car ferry tour. The car ferry has 8 stops. Take a public **** car from the tourist center
The blue sky is the background, the boundless desert is the backdrop, and the golden poplar forest is like a paintbrush. When the cold wind blows, the splendor of the trees all over the ground turns golden. Seeing the poplar is a technical job. When you leave early, the leaves are still half green and half yellow. Late to go, the yellow leaves do not have a few pieces left.
Generally from October 10, the poplar forest in the desert enters the best viewing period, and you can see the most beautiful autumn colors in the next 21 days.
Ejina exchanges 11 months of blandness for 21 days of sudden splendor, coloring the desert and lakes gold and putting on a fantastic autumn show.
Southern people come to the north and are shocked to see the scenery in front of them, and are ridiculed by northerners for their ignorance.
This place deserves everyone's love, even the mood becomes colorful.
From time to time there are dead trees lying at your feet, obviously dead, but still alive and still giving signs of life.
Hu are tenacious in life and immortal even after death. They turn into colorful images, hard to do without ghostly work, displaying an embarrassing beauty.
They don't die of old age, but the rivers are diverted and the desert trees die from loss of water.
The "poplar in the water" scenic spot is the most photogenic, the picture is so beautiful, I dare not look straight.
There are trees in the water and water under the trees. The poplar tree exudes infinite charm, making people turn around in three steps.
The poplar is the most fantastic place in the scenic spot. The poplar and the weak water complement each other, all in one. Like traveling in a picture-postcard world, it's like a wonderland.
There is a 2.8 kilometer long landscape water system. The small bridges and stone paths of the poplars mirror the tourists. You can look at the scenery from the bridge and you become part of the scenery.
The poplar tree is strange. It can't die in the desert because of drought, nor can it drown in the water. The calm, clear water is like a mirror, reflecting the blue sky, white clouds and golden-colored poplars, making it impossible to tell heaven from earth.
"This scene should only be found in heaven, the desert poplar is a forest by the water". The poplar at the water's edge is a hot spot for tourists, which can be regarded as the representative and model of Ejina. most of CCTV's "Aerial Photography of China" is photographed here, and a lot of the poplar reflection photos seen on the Internet come from here.
The blue sky, the golden poplar, the clear lake, the perfect blend, like magic, without special composition. You can take a picture with your cell phone, all the pictures are exquisite.
"Weak water three thousand pieces, only a spoon" refers to this place. Ejina River, also known as the Black River, is known as Weak Water in ancient times, and is full of aura.
Weak water flows slowly through more than 110,000 square kilometers of Ejinagi Banner. It flows through the Gobi, salt marshes and receives water from all rivers. It magically touches the barren desert, moisturizes the vast poplar oasis on both sides of the river, and sings the immortal poplar song day and night.
The river is 9.8 kilometers long, like nine heavenly fairy silk. Early in the morning, here we can see the faint current rising at sunrise. The two sides of the river with poplar standing tall and red willows, it is super nice to shoot the sunset. If you don't identify it carefully, it's easy to mistake it for "poplar".
There is a "weak water ancient wind" photography base, where visitors can experience the beautiful mood of "just take a scoop".
Since ancient times, the Ejina River has not only nurtured the poplar forests, but also the mysterious and splendid Juyan culture. The Ejinna River has been with the Juyan culture and the poplar forest for thousands of years.
The "Red Willow Bay" next to the river is also not willing to be weak, with color interpretation of the language of the season.
Is it the burning of the Golden Autumn, is it drunk with years, or is it stunning?
Gao Hongyan flew, a few people across the bay!
Thousands of acres of red willow charming all over the place, three times a year brilliant bloom. In Liu Hong Bay, you can see high above, red clouds dancing, very spectacular.
"Poplar", "weak river", "red willow bay" is very beautiful, but only by taking a helicopter to see the world from God's point of view, you can truly appreciate the 440,000 acres of Ejina native The first thing you need to do is to take a look at the poplar forests in the area. And
Front is an antique wooden bridge called Ruyi Bridge.
Further ahead, there are two trees, called "welcome tree". These two good friends, in the light of the light, brilliant.
This is what they look like during the day. By contrast, wouldn't the Welcome Tree look even more fantastic at night?
At this time, the poplar fades away from the splendor and hustle and bustle of the daytime, and presents itself to visitors with a unique look. Against the backdrop of night, it is mysterious and quiet, very charming, with a feeling of watching a movie like the devil's world.
When the poplar is not completely yellow, it turns golden yellow under the light.
Want to experience the excitement of the desert boat, then get on board!
At the "Desert Station", you can take an off-road vehicle to surf in the desert, or ride a sandy motorcycle in the desert to feel the passion and excitement. You can also ride a camel in a desert boat, wander through the sea of sand, and ring the camel bell with a five-star happiness index.
The camel walks slowly in front of the crowd, and the price of riding a camel is 50 yuan. After walking around the neighborhood, the camel leaders cooperated with us to take photos and videos, which became an egg in the journey.
My impression of the desert is that there is no grass, but coming to the "desert countryside" has changed my perception.
Who would have thought that in ancient times, the land here was so fertile that there were cantaloupes and jujubes. And the red willow fence in front of every house is very idyllic.
If you come in other seasons, you can not only see the red willow, but also have parent-child learning and play car camp.
In addition to the landscape of poplars, red willows and reeds, there is also a species of hyacinth that is well worth seeing. Sheep frequent the area and graze leisurely.
Don't be afraid if you are tired of swimming in the poplar forest in the desert. You can choose to stay here, such as the poplar-themed hotel in the desert, the superior business hotel, the yurt campsite in the desert palace, the shell house campsite, the Orion tent campsite, the RV self-driving campsite and so on. Choose your favorite room to stay.
This streamlined building is the visitor service center of the scenic spot. It is the largest tourist distribution center in Ejinagi Banner, with an area of 5,027 square meters.
I climbed up the stairs and looked down from a high place, and found that it was a shaped building built on the model of three poplar branches. The color is the same as the desert, not unlike the mood of the poplar in the desert. Meanwhile there are 98 pillars inside, signifying a tribute to the poplar.
We came to the scenic spot visitor center on the 2nd floor to eat, where a buffet is provided, incredibly cheap, more than 10 dishes of various meats for only 50 yuan. You can also order your own food, which is not too expensive. In addition to the chicken soup, there is a lamb soup that is super recommended. This lamb soup is really good and doesn't have that unpleasant flavor at all. The meat is also firm and I'm sure many tourists can get used to it.
I haven't tried the mutton soup here, so I can't say it's worth staying.
Many domestic and foreign artists come here to sketch, adding more colors to the scenic spot.
There are small trains and electric sightseeing buses in the scenic area, which will take you to every attraction quickly, a boon for lazy guests.
If you don't want to walk, you can also rent bicycles here and choose according to your preference.
When it comes to desert, it must be a vast land. Yes, there is a national five-star self-drive sports camp here. The campground is beautiful and the parking supply is good. It is a mature self-driving base. When you come to Ejina, you can't miss this wonderful place.
Self-driving here is extremely comfortable. There are also 40 water and electricity stakes specially prepared for those caravan self-driving tourists, which properly solve the water and electricity problems of caravan tourists. Moreover, each RV has its own parking space, tent campsite and kitchen. If tourists don't want to cook, they can just order takeout and taste the local specialties.
The campground was named a national self-driving sports camp in 2008, and in August 2008 was named a national five-star self-driving sports camp. It has organized various brand activities such as China International Caravan Camping Conference Ejinjina Station, Thousands of People Riding Camping Conference, Silk Road Food Festival, Snow Poplar Festival and so on.
Being in the poplar forest scenic spot in the desert is also a good choice to experience the Mongolian herdsmen's way of life. Staying in a yurt and participating in the process of making cheese, milk skin, milk tofu and yogurt will leave unforgettable memories of your trip. There are more than a dozen distinctive indigenous herders' attractions in the scenic area, including Tulkhuat's family, poplar women's home, and Nazig BB health base. You can also feel the most simple pastoral life in the poplar forest.
Feel the history and savor the folk customs. Stepping on the wooden trestle crunching, you feel the past and modernity intertwined.
Following the trestle, we came to the Turquoise tribe, one of the four major Mongolian tribes in western China during the Qing Dynasty. It is a hard-working and brave tribe with a glorious history. In the 37th year of Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1698 A.D.), the Turks could not bear the oppression of the Tsarist Russian Empire, and began a long and bitter journey to the east, accomplishing the legendary history of the Turks' return to the east. This is the valuable spiritual wealth of the Chinese nation, is a great achievement.
Sheep pens in the yard, camel pens in the backyard, rich in idyllic flavor. In the yard, a tall family "peace tree", also known as "Baomule", hung with their blessings, praying for good weather, prosperity of six animals, family peace.
Mongolians are good at singing and dancing. There are five wonderful Mongolian performances at the Tulhut People's Station every day. Accompanied by the melodious horse-head fiddle, Mongolian artists sing moving Mongolian folk songs. The songs are boundless and vast, just like this distant desert, just like this colorful poplar, which makes people intoxicated and addicted. The blue sky, white clouds, and yurts in twos and threes, with the standing poplar as the background, mesmerized the crowd and the years.
Both the dances and the instruments and their heavenly voices were unforgettable. My ears were pregnant.
The singer in her national costume had the air of a queen.
Passing by the "Poplar Woman's Home", which was the location for the TV series "Poplar Woman" released in 2010, it is also a perfect combination of specialty food and accommodation. The rooms here are very popular. They are said to be booked as early as June.
Here, you can not only enjoy the beautiful view of the poplar, but also taste the local specialties of Türk Hut. You can also stay in the specialty yurts across the street, or stroll through the woods, or look at the stars, or have long conversations, or party all night. There's always a way to relax and enjoy yourself.
We chose to stay at the Shell Cottage at the self-drive campground that night, not realizing it was full of surprises. The huts look like colorful shells, and the more than 30 red, blue, green and pink shell houses look like the brightest pearls scattered in the self-drive camp.
The colorful shell huts are warm, the rooms are pure white, and the sunlight comes in when the curtains are drawn. There are a variety of amenities, including a large bed, windows, air conditioning and a separate bathroom.
Outside, sunflowers were in full bloom next to a body of water. The mornings seemed peaceful.
As night falls, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, you step out and stand on the banks of the feeble water, with the sound of insects, the river reflecting a dreamy starry sky, and enjoying the beauty of the poplars in the moonlight. What kind of mood is this night?
If you are just used to staying in hotels, there are complimentary business hotels here, with standard rooms, king-size beds and luxury suites.
There is also a theme hotel in the desert named after the poplar scenic spot: the Desert Poplar Theme Hotel. In addition to standard rooms and large bed rooms, there are mother and baby rooms and romantic couple rooms.
:Travel Notes
1. The autumn color of the poplar forest in the desert is bright, and it is advisable to bring red or white clothes to take pictures here. The photos taken have a sense of natural harmony.
2. There is a big temperature difference between morning and evening in the poplar forest in the desert, and it is even a bit cold, with the temperature mostly below 10 in the morning and evening. When traveling, you must remember to bring a thick jacket, and it is also excellent to bring a down jacket.
3. The sun shines brightly in the middle of the day, and the light is very strong, so you should do a good job of sun protection, and you should bring good hydrating skin care products and lipstick.
4. When playing in the desert, remember to wear a mask or a magic scarf, and wear high-top shoes with a good seal to prevent fine sand from entering.
5. If you are traveling by car, you must pay attention to the safety of driving to the Beijing New Highway, because some sections of the road are built in the desert, and the fine sand wrapped by the wind will be piled up on the highway, and the car will skid if the speed is too fast, especially at night. This you must pay attention to.
While you can't go out and skid, it's still nice to see the poplar forest online. When the golden fall comes, the epidemic will surely be over, so you can arrange it then!
