Yiwu Populus Euphratica Scenic Area, the check-in spot of "Pomegranate Restaurant"

In late autumn in Hami, two kinds of vibrant life are hidden, worth checking in with "Pomegranate Restaurant"! At "Pomegranate Restaurant," charcoal-grilled lamb chops sizzle, steamed buns are torn open steaming hot, paired with sweet Hami melon—this is the fresh taste of Xinjiang on your palate. Driving north, in the Yiwu Populus Euphratica Scenic Area, the ancient primordial poplar forest is staging a breathtaking spectacle. The poplars, standing for thousands of years, freeze the Gobi Desert in various forms like coiled dragons and phoenix rebirth, using withered branches and new growth to interpret "a glance lasting ten thousand years." This place is beautiful in all seasons: spring sprouts new buds, bringing hope to the desert; summer wears lush green, supporting a cool oasis; autumn dyes golden yellow, blooming with vibrant life; winter is wrapped in silver, showing proud resilience. Visitors can enjoy authentic Xinjiang cuisine and appreciate the seasonal wonders of the poplar forest, feeling the toughness and brilliance of life. Travel options include self-driving via provincial roads S249 and S302, about 3.5 hours direct; or taking a passenger bus to Naomao Lake Town and then a taxi; or choosing a one- or two-day tour package from local travel agencies. Come to Hami and start this double feast of delicious food and beautiful scenery!
