Autumn in the Tarim Poplar Forest

Autumn in Xinjiang is incredibly romantic, and the Tarim Poplar Forest is a perfect representation of this romance. It is located 70 kilometers along the South Desert Highway in Luntai County, Xinjiang. Established in February 2004, it covers a total area of 100 square kilometers and combines the landscapes of the Tarim River, poplar trees, desert, and petroleum industry. It is acclaimed as one of the ten most beautiful forests. The core highlight here is its unique natural scenery. Ancient trees that have stood for thousands of years shed their green leaves in autumn and don golden armor. When sunlight falls, the desert is dyed in warm tones. The sightseeing area features a 17-kilometer-long scenic road with 126 bends, allowing you to appreciate the ancient poplars in different seasons and forms. The leisure and entertainment area has a 13-kilometer circular tourist railway connecting lakes within the forest. In the golden autumn, the poplars turn golden, reflecting beautifully in the water, creating an unforgettable view. Visitors can take the sightseeing train, which passes through green grasslands, red willow thickets, and reed marshes, crosses the Chayang River, and circles the forest lakes, fully enjoying the charming scenery of the desert’s southern region. Come to the Tarim Poplar Forest to experience this unique romance and grandeur, witness the brilliance of life, and create unforgettable memories!
