In mid-to-late October, southern Xinjiang enters the most beautiful season. 3.16 million acres of Populus euphratica forest sweeps across the Tarim Basin, with golden colors as far as the eye can see. The most stunning autumn scene I have ever seen is this! A large part of the reason for going to southern Xinjiang in autumn is to see the Populus euphratica forest there. The best viewing period for the Populus euphratica forest in Luntai is generally in mid-to-late October, which lasts about 10 days.
