2025 Wusu Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in October)

Just got back from Yiwu Populus euphratica carrying my camera! While organizing my photo album, I realized that by mastering a few small tips, ordinary people can also take autumn photos that go viral on social media. This tried-and-true guide is a must for sisters who want to check it out! 🌅 Remember this! The golden hour for great shots From late September to mid-October every year is the peak beauty period of the Yiwu Populus euphratica, with trees full of golden leaves forming vast patches. Miss it and you’ll have to wait a whole year! There are only two “magic moments” each day: one hour after sunrise and one hour before sunset. At these times, the light acts like a soft filter, making the Populus euphratica glow with warm golden edges, with saturated colors that are not harsh. 📸 4 must-shoot spots! Even beginners can nail it in one go • Sunrise + Snowy Mountains: Head to the high ground on the east side of the scenic area! Use a telephoto lens to compress the space, capturing the golden Populus euphratica, distant snowy mountains, and orange sunrise in one frame. Press the shutter and you get a cinematic poster. • Golden Forest: Don’t just shoot by the roadside! Walk into the forest and shoot upward with a wide-angle lens, sweeping from the ground up. This maximizes the tall and dense feel of the Populus euphratica, as if you’ve stepped into a golden kingdom from a fairy tale. • Silhouette Moment: At sunset, find a uniquely shaped Populus euphratica (like one with curved branches), meter the exposure against the bright sky, have a person pose simply beside the tree, and the dark background with golden outlines instantly creates a strong atmosphere. • Starry Sky Masterpiece: Late at night, avoid the scenic area lights, use the Populus euphratica as the foreground, set up a tripod and do a long exposure. You can capture the Milky Way and the silhouette of the Populus euphratica together. No one on social media will believe you took it! 👗 Outfit & Color Grading Tips Choose solid colors like white, red, or denim blue for your outfit. These contrast strongly with the golden Populus euphratica, making any pose under the trees photogenic. Avoid flashy patterns that steal the spotlight. Color grading doesn’t have to be complicated: slightly increase the saturation of yellows and oranges, and reduce the greens a bit. This will enhance the autumn vibe of the whole picture. You can easily do this with a mobile photo editing app. After trying it, you’ll see that the beauty of Yiwu Populus euphratica doesn’t rely on “expert-level” skills. Master these small tips, and you can shoot photos that will have your friends bombarding you for the location! Quickly grab your photo buddy and take advantage of the perfect autumn scenery for a shoot~ Xinjiang Travel

This autumn, I came to southern Xinjiang for the Populus Euphratica forest. After looking at many guides, I finally chose the Luntai Populus Euphratica Forest. I also saw many posts warning to avoid it, so I didn't have high expectations. But! What is this? The Luntai Populus Euphratica Forest is so beautiful! Absolutely stunning! I recommend driving into the scenic area. Fortunately, there is a discount recently, and the self-driving entrance ticket 🎫 only costs 125 yuan, with the ticket itself being 40 yuan per person. Driving is much more convenient than taking the scenic area shuttle bus—you can stop wherever you find a beautiful spot to take photos 📷. You don’t have to compete with crowds and elderly tourists for photo spots, so you can easily capture the feeling of solitude. If you drive, I suggest going to the end station first and choosing the dense golden trees along the way to take photos. The front part of the scenic area is really not as beautiful as the back part. For outfits, bright colors are preferred. The small train costs 100 yuan per person, but since it’s mainly for saving money, I didn’t try it. Almost all the leaves in the park have turned yellow, so don’t worry about not getting good shots. The trees along both sides of the road are also super beautiful. You can open the car sunroof to shoot 🎬 videos, which are also very impressive. I suggest setting off early; arriving around 11 a.m. means almost no tourists inside the scenic area, and the sunlight is the softest then. The temperature difference between morning and evening is large, so remember to dress warmly. Around 5 p.m., it’s about 17 degrees and quite hot. The Populus Euphratica forest is so beautiful; it really healed me~

Golden autumn Not to be missed Full of harvest and happiness Come DM me to take photos together 📷 The beautiful scenery is at its peak Hurry and set off The autumn wind sweeps the fallen leaves~ Leave no regrets, just cherish the moment The beautiful scenery is close by~ no need to climb mountains or cross rivers Right in downtown Aksu 👏

Departing from Urumqi on 6.15, S101, checking in at Shimenzi Reservoir (Pic 1), Baili Danxia (Pics 2-3), Kenswat Reservoir (Pic 4), and Anjihai Grand Canyon (Pic 5) with the whole line being clear and the road conditions relatively good. There are occasional 1-2 landslides, but detours are possible. The continuous Danxia on both sides of the road is astonishing, the reservoirs are a deep blue that is refreshing to the soul, a must-drive viewing platform in this lifetime, with diverse scenery that dazzles the eyes. The grandeur of Anjihai remains mysterious even in rainy weather! Note: The defense highway facilities are not fully equipped, and there was an awkward moment of queuing for the toilet , no gas stations along the way, so it's necessary to refuel and resupply before the trip. Also, due to the unique terrain and peculiar scenery, you need to pay extra attention while driving, slow down, and safety first~

Xinjiang Travelogue📝Anjihai Grand Canyon|||Check-in→The Torn Earth-Anjihai Grand Canyon Urumqi-3H-Anjihai Grand Canyon-3H-Stay in Bole【Private Car】 🗺️Location: Located in Anjihai Town, Shawan City, you can navigate directly (the scenic area is undeveloped, free, with intermittent signal📶) Due to its remote location, it's not very convenient to buy things nearby, so it's recommended to bring some dry food (there are some mobile vendors on the platform, offering cold noodles, fruits🍉🍈, coffee☕, ice cream🍦, kebabs🍢, etc.) The driver accidentally took us down to the bottom of the canyon first (about 7 kilometers away from the scenic area there is a fork in the road, the left is down to the canyon, the right is the platform overlooking the canyon), whether standing on the mountain top platform looking down into the valley, or looking up from the valley floor👀, you can see the splendid colors, the canyon stretches for more than a dozen kilometers, stunning! 📸Shooting suggestions: 1️⃣Bring a drone, the God's eye view is very impressive. 2️⃣Be sure to choose a sunny day, as the weather affects the lighting, which is key to whether you get good photos. ⚠️Scenic area precautions Because the soil is quite loose and the safety facilities are not well established (basically none), the danger level of this scenic area is quite high, so be very careful when shooting, and don't get too close to the edge of the cliff!😱 🚾It's a dry toilet (it's recommended to take care of it at the service area on the highway)! Impressive and majestic, making this the perfect first stop on the Ili loop tour.
