Three thousand years of waiting Just to await your arrival... This is the filming location of Zhang Yimou's movie "Hero," where Maggie Cheung and Zhang Ziyi had their forest duel scene—the Populus euphratica forest in Ejina Banner. Every late October, this place presents a breathtaking panorama, and every Populus euphratica tree in Ejina blooms in an extremely brilliant, almost crazy splendor, portraying a lonely yet passionate cycle of life... In this Populus euphratica forest, every leaf seems to tell the story of time passing, and every trunk bears witness to the hardships of the years. When sunlight falls on the golden leaves, it seems to drape the entire forest in a layer of golden radiance. This poetic and picturesque scenery only lasts for 21 days each year; if you miss this month, you'll have to wait until next year! Transportation: For neighbors nearby, self-driving 🚗 is more suitable. If the distance is far, choose to arrive at Ejina Banner by plane ✈️ or train 🚞. 🍁 Recommended spots to visit: 👇 👣 Erdao Bridge: Here hides a reflection forest, with lakes like mirrors reflecting the golden Populus euphratica and the deep blue sky. Photography enthusiasts can capture stunning moments no matter how they compose their shots. 👣 Sidao Bridge: This is the filming location of the movie "Hero," where the Populus euphratica trees stand in various postures, creating a unique landscape. It’s the perfect place for portrait photography. Wearing bright costumes here with the beautiful Populus euphratica scenery will surely leave unforgettable memories. 👣 Qidao Bridge: The youngest Populus euphratica forest in Ejina Banner, adjacent to the desert. The leaves here turn yellow early, offering visitors a distinctive visual experience. 👣 Badao Bridge: The northern edge of the Badain Jaran Desert in the sea of sand is within reach. You can enjoy the magnificent desert sunrise and the brilliant colors of sunset and dusk here. Additionally, desert activities like camel riding and off-road vehicles add endless fun. ✨ Travel tips: 🌸 Private cars are not allowed inside the scenic area; the ticket includes transportation within the park. 🌸 Due to the large temperature difference between day and night in Ejina, fleece jackets, cotton-padded clothes, or down jackets are essential to cope with the cold mornings and evenings. A fall jacket is needed for midday. 🌸 Because ultraviolet rays are strong in the northwest region, sunscreen and 🕶️ sunglasses are also must-haves. 🌸 For photography lovers, don’t trust roadside photographers who solicit business inside the scenic area; their skills are generally average. It’s recommended to choose travel photography shops that display sample works for shooting. 🍂 Populus euphratica viewing period: From the end of September to mid-late October each year, the beauty lasts only 21 days. The best viewing period is after mid-October, and after October 20th, most leaves have fallen, so you’ll have to wait another year~

Family, let's go! Autumn in Alxa is already counting down. The golden leaves of the poplar trees are starting to fall, and the desert's evening breeze is getting cooler. Hesitate any longer and you'll have to wait until next year to see this "desert fairy tale"✨ Just got back from there and have organized all the fun special routes, photo tips, and pitfall warnings I personally tested. Beginners can follow them to fully enjoy the trip! ⚠️ Must-read before departure! Late autumn Alxa survival guide Clothing & gear (day and night temperature difference can be 20℃) - Clothing: short sleeves + fleece-lined windbreaker + thin down jacket (wear short sleeves at noon to shoot poplars, wrap up in down jacket at dawn to watch sunrise) - Protection: high-top sand-proof shoes are a must! Desert sand is so fine it gets into shoes; renting shoe covers is not as good as bringing your own pair; SPF50+ sunscreen reapplied every 2 hours; choose windproof sunglasses or sand will irritate your eyes - Others: offline maps (almost no signal in the desert), tripod (for shooting stars and poplar reflections), heat packs (can save you at dawn sunrise shoots), empty water bottle (fill with fine sand as a souvenir) Transportation pitfalls (huge distances between scenic spots!) - Major transport: fly to Alxa Left Banner Airport or take high-speed train to Left Banner Station, then a 20-minute taxi to the city center - Local transport: absolutely avoid unlicensed cars! Recommend hiring a qualified car with driver (500-600 RMB/day). In the desert, you must transfer to professional off-road vehicles; choosing a fleet with insurance is safer - Hidden tip: carpooling with multiple people is super cost-effective, and the driver can act as a free guide, greatly reducing pitfalls 🚗 3 special routes! Pick directly according to your preference 🌅 Poplar Light Chasing Route (a must for photographers) Day 1: First encounter with Ejina Poplar Forest - 6:30 AM head straight to the Erdaoqiao reflection forest. No tour groups at this time. Wear a red dress and squat low to shoot; golden leaves with lake reflections make perfect shots[__LINK_ICON] - Rest in the forest at noon to avoid strong light, and pick a few intact poplar leaves as bookmarks - 4 PM rush to Sidaoqiao Hero Forest, find thick dead tree trunks as background, lean sideways against the tree and look up, sunlight filtering through branches on your face creates a story-like vibe, instantly becoming a movie protagonist[__LINK_ICON] - 5 PM wait for sunset, stand among uniquely shaped deadwood to shoot backlit photos. When the sunset dyes the sky pink and purple, press the shutter—every shot is wallpaper-worthy Day 2: Juyan Lake + Strange Forest finale - 4 AM set off to Juyan Lake, choose the end of the boardwalk, wait for water birds to skim the lake surface. When the sun rises, golden light sprinkles on the water like gold dust—so beautiful it leaves you speechless[__LINK_ICON] - Morning visit the Strange Forest, where dead trees with twisted branches claw in the desert, resembling scenes from Lord of the Rings. Cloudy days add a desolate feel - Afternoon leisurely return trip, spotting scattered poplars along the way, a proper farewell to autumn 🏜️ Desert Wild Luxury Route (top choice for experience seekers) Day 1: Tengger Desert crossing - Morning depart from Left Banner, choose the Emerald Secret Route: Little Swan Lake → Longyan Emerald Lake (emerald green water is amazing) → Ulan Lake (the heart of the earth! Stunning red) → Guitar Lake (looks like a giant guitar). Each stop will fill your camera memory - Lunch in the desert with a simple meal, remember to take all trash with you; the ecosystem is very fragile - Afternoon off-road driving in the sand, the driver speeds between dunes, more thrilling than a roller coaster, not for the faint-hearted! You can also ride camels strolling the sand sea, have companions film it; dune curves + camel caravan silhouettes create a great atmosphere - Evening pick a high sand dune to watch sunset, see the sun dye the sand honey-colored, the breeze carries a gentle scent Day 2: Stargazing camping + return - 5:30 AM climb sand dune to watch sunrise, barefoot on the cool sand, listening to the wind, full healing vibes - Morning try sand sliding, slide down a hundred-meter dune, adrenaline rush, remember to wear sunglasses to protect from sand - Noon pack up camp and return, be sure to shoot a desert video before leaving, set it to Jay Chou’s "Red Dust Inn"—the perfect vibe, guaranteed to go viral 🪨 Canyon Exploration Route (a must-try for niche travelers) Day 1: Western Dream Canyon hike - Morning drive straight to Western Dream Canyon, a combination of yardang and Danxia landforms. Deep red sandstone against blue sky and white clouds is stunning. Known as the "Seven Color Divine Mountain," reportedly the filming location for Xiao Zhan’s "Word of Honor" - You can take an electric cart inside the park (15 RMB round trip) to save energy for the core area. Walking in the canyon, the path twists and turns, every step a new scene, every ten steps a different sky, like entering an alien world - Afternoon find a high spot for panoramic shots, red canyon with desert in the distance, layers of depth maxed out, no one on social media will know your location - Evening return to Left Banner, ending a day of niche adventure 💡 Personally tested pitfall avoidance & bonus tips 1. Buy poplar forest tickets online one day in advance, 20 RMB cheaper than on-site. Water in the park sells for 10 RMB/bottle, recommend bringing a large water bottle 2. Don’t be greedy for cheap desert off-road tours; low-priced groups may cut routes or add hidden fees. Choose reputable fleets for reliability 3. To shoot stars, wait until after 10 PM. The Milky Way in Tengger Desert is visible to the naked eye. Use a tripod to mount your phone for shots; Huawei phones can even create star trail effects 4. Respect local customs: don’t casually photograph herders, remove hats when entering temples, pay attention to these details 5. Western Dream Canyon facilities are simple; better bring snacks and water, wear non-slip shoes, some sections are muddy Autumn in Alxa is really too short. Golden leaves, red lakes, the Milky Way, camel caravans—all urging you to set off! Don’t wait for “next time.” Pack now, it’s still not too late. After all, if you miss it, you’ll have to wait a whole year again~

In Ejina Banner, Inner Mongolia, there is a place called the Mysterious Populus Euphratica Forest. Here, the desert is desolate, with large expanses of dead Populus euphratica trees, leaning in all directions, presenting a bleak scene. On this day, as dusk approached, I arrived at the Mysterious Populus Euphratica Forest. The setting sun was still hanging in the sky, and the evening tide was rising. The forest in front of me was silent, as if it had experienced a primordial era. As the sky darkened, the bare Populus euphratica trees under the setting sun appeared even more bizarre and grotesque. Each tree had its own unique shape. Some resembled giant dragons soaring, some looked like old wolves howling, and others were like lions pouncing on their prey, presenting a strange beauty, like the swan song of life, both tragic and magnificent. I held my breath, afraid to disturb them, as a sign of my respect for the Mysterious Populus Euphratica Forest.

At this time, the sun was gradually setting, and as the setting sun painted the western sky in a blaze of glory, it also dyed the Mysterious Populus Euphratica Forest into a dreamlike, mysterious art palace shrouded in rosy clouds.
