3700 kilometers flying to southern Xinjiang! The poplar trees in Huludao are breathtakingly beautiful, with 80% golden at the perfect time

Who would have thought! Took a gamble on the poplar forest in Huludao, southern Xinjiang, and was instantly moved to tears by this "desert secret realm"! The moment I climbed to the highest point of the desert, my eyes went wide—the deep blue lake nestled among the golden sea of sand, the poplars on the shore reflecting the water into gold, every leaf glowing. This scene doesn’t need any filters! Now is just the right time! The poplar forest is already 80% golden, some leaves have started to fall, crunching underfoot on the golden carpet. Every photo looks like a cinematic masterpiece. This period is the best viewing time; if you miss it, you’ll have to wait until next year! 📍Location: Huludao Scenic Area, Yuli County, Korla ⚠️Tips: It’s best to go in the morning when the light is soft and perfect for photos; wear light-colored clothes for better shots, and remember to bring sunglasses and sunscreen—the desert UV is very strong!
