Finally, I realized the loneliness and persistence of Populus euphratica in the desert Gobi! There are still more people, but only this time can see the yellow Populus euphratica forest."Jinta43.9km from downtownHighlights: The Jinta Desert Poplar Forest Attraction is located on the north side of the middle section of the ancient Silk Road and 6 kilometers northwest of Jinta County, Gansu Province. It consists of five functional areas: the Poplar Forest-Jinbo Lake Core Scenic Area, the Elaeagnus angustifolia Forest Sightseeing Area, the Desert Red Willow Forest Conservation Area, the Desert Entertainment Experience Area and the Desert Reed Maze Area. It covers an area of more than 80,000 mu. The Attraction is distributed with 10,000 mu of Poplar Forest, the largest "fossil-level plant" in the northwest region, which is of great ornamental value. The Jinbo Lake is rippling, the Poplar Forest is dazzling, the Elaeagnus angustifolia flowers are fragrant, there are many kinds of wild animals, the red willows are intoxicated in autumn, the white flowers of the reeds are cold, the beach is soft and the sun is charming. When you visit this place, you can fully appreciate the desert style, appreciate the Poplar Culture, explore the secluded realm of the Tonglin, and experience the wild fun of the desert. This is a tourist destination integrating ecological afforestation, windbreak and sand fixation, Dining and entertainment, leisure and vacation, photography creation, and sightseeing tourism. It has been rated as a place with beautiful autumn colors in Gansu Province. When a cool autumn breeze blows across the desert, the poplar forest changes from dark green to light yellow, and then to apricot yellow. Climbing high and looking far away, the golden autumn sea is refreshing. The setting sun is vast, and the evening glow is a touch. The poplars change from golden yellow to golden red, and then to a brown red, gradually blending into the hazy night. After a night of frost, the poplar forest is as red as the maple leaves of Xiangshan Mountain, as if it is burning. And on the crown branches of each tall poplar tree, light green and light yellow leaves occasionally flash, staggered and colorful. When the autumn wind blows, the golden leaves of the poplars fall to the ground with a "rustling" sound, and the ground is covered with a golden carpet, brilliant and solemn. Walking in the poplar forest is like entering a fairyland in mythology. The dense poplars are strange and varied, with various expressions. The sturdy poplars are so big that it is difficult for several people to hug them. Some are as tall as 15 to 20 feet. They are strange and look like dragons leaping and twisted and dancing wildly, which is amazing. The dense leaves are also unique. The leaves of young poplars are narrow and small, like the willow eyebrows of a girl, and people often mistake them for willows; the leaves of middle-aged poplars become oval or triangular, like the white birch in Xing'an Mountains; the leaves of old poplars are elliptical. What's more, the upper and lower layers of the crown of the same poplar grow leaves of several different shapes, which is amazing.Show Less

It is the attraction that there are more people, especially in the evening, it is recommended to play on the staggered peak. As for the mass starry sky concert, everyone sings together. It is a sense of atmosphere. You can also not participate in the night view. You can enter the park many times with plenty of time!"Dunhuang.Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Moon Spring>100km from downtown
No.1 of Best Things to Do in JiuquanHighlights: Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Lake is located south of the City of Dunhuang. The site features a mountain and a spring that are symbols of Dunhuang. You should visit the sightseeing area in the afternoon to avoid the heat of the midday desert. Once the sun goes down, you can climb the mountain. From its peak, you can enjoy the desert and Crescent Lake at the base of the mountain. The scenic area offers a variety of recreational activities, including camel riding, sandboarding, motorcycling in the desert, archery, and helicopter tours.Show Less
