While the poplar grows in the saline soil, but the child does not mind the mother's ugliness, it is stationed with a lifetime to provide an oasis in the desert, blooming life's most surging and most brilliant colors.
When the first winds of autumn, overnight, the poplar forest took off the summer clothes, changed a golden yellow clothes.
Every year in the golden fall to Ejina, which is the desert poplar forest of the minimum respect.

The blue sky as the background, the vast desert as the background color, the golden poplar forest is like a paintbrush sprinkled; and when the cold wind at first, a tree of splendor into a full of gold. Look at the poplar is a technical work, go early, the leaves are still half green and half yellow, go late, the yellow leaves and not a few pieces left.
Generally from October 10, the desert poplar forest into the best viewing period, the next 21 days can see the most beautiful autumn color.
Ejina uses 11 months of blandness for 21 days of sudden splendor, and dyes the desert and lakes gold, making the most of autumn.
Southern people come to the north, when they see the scenery in front of them, said they were stunned, and were ridiculed by the northerners as not having seen anything.
This place is worth everyone's heart, even the mood has become colorful.
From time to time, there are dead trees crossing in front of the feet, obviously dead, but still alive, still giving signs of life.
The life of the poplar is tenacious, even after the dead is still immortal, they turned into the shape of a thousand strange scrolls, non-specialized craftsmanship is difficult to do, showing the beauty of the saddening.
They did not die of old age, but the river was diverted, the trees in the desert due to the loss of water and withered.
"Water poplar" attractions the most sense of the camera, the picture is too beautiful, I dare not look directly.
There are trees in the water, there is water under the trees, the poplar tree exudes infinite charm, people three steps back.
The water realm poplar is the most fantastic place in the scenic area, poplar and weak water reflect, in which, such as swimming in the painting, like a fairyland.
There is a 2.8-kilometer-long landscape water system, bridges, flowing water, stone paths, poplar and visitors to show the harmony, you look at the scenery on the bridge, you have become part of the scenery.
The poplar tree is very strange _, in the desert drought is not dead, in the water is not drowned, calm and clear water like a mirror, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds and golden poplar, so that people can not distinguish between the sky and the earth.
"This scene should only be on the sky, the desert poplar water realm forest", the water realm poplar is a hot spot for tourists to card, can be said to be the representative of the Ejina and model, CCTV "aerial China" most of the scene here, the poplar reflection photos seen on the Internet, a lot of out of here.
The blue sky, golden poplar and clear lake water perfect fusion, like a real, do not have to deliberately composition, cell phone shot, Zhang are fine.
"Three thousand weak water, only take a dipper", refers to this place. The Ejinjina River, also known as the Black River, is known as the Weak Water, full of spirit.
In Ejinagi Banner more than 110,000 square kilometers of land, the weak water slowly flowing, it flows Gobi, over the salt marsh, accepting the water of ten thousand rivers, the magical point of the barren desert, moisturize the banks of ten thousand hectares of poplar oasis, day and night singing the ancient immortal poplar song.
This section of the river is 9.8 kilometers long, like a silk misty nine days. Early in the morning, this place can watch the weak water sunrise, both sides of the poplar forest standing upright, red willow, shoot the sunset is also super nice. If you do not carefully screening, it is easy to take it as "water poplar".
Here is the "weak water ancient wind" photography base, come to experience the "just take a scoop" of the beautiful mood.
The ancient Ejina River not only nurtured the poplar forest, but also nurtured the mysterious and brilliant Juyan culture. The Ejinna River and the Juyan culture and the poplar forest have been living together for thousands of years.
The "Red Willow Bay" next to the river is also not willing to show weakness, with color interpretation of the language of the season.
It is burning with the golden yellow of autumn, is drunk with the years, or stunning the earth?
The sky is high and the geese are flying, and the number of people crossing the bay is still!
Thousands of acres of red willow charm everywhere, three changes a year bloom gorgeous. Being in the red willow bay, climbed up to look around, red clouds dancing, like brocade such as Xia, spectacular.
"Water poplar", "weak water river", "Red Willow Bay" is certainly beautiful, but only by helicopter to open the God's perspective on the world, you can really appreciate! Ejina 440,000 acres of native poplar forest vastness. The first time, your eyes are no longer limited to a desert poplar forest scenic spot, the entire Ejinsha are in your eyes.
Not the same angle, not the same scenery. With the eye of God to overlook this piece of golden yellow, luxury suddenly born.

The ancient wooden bridge in front of us is called "Ruyi Bridge".
Further ahead, there are two trees, called "welcome tree", these two good friends in the light of the golden, magnificent atmosphere.
This is what they look like in the daytime, in contrast, the welcome tree in the night is not more fantastic.
This time the poplar faded from the daytime gorgeous and noisy, with a unique face in front of the tourists, in the night under the backdrop of the mysterious quiet, charm times _, there is a magical world of the movie of the sense of immediacy.
The poplar forest in not all yellow, in the light of the irradiation will also compete to become a golden yellow.

The impression of the desert is that there is not a blade of grass, but the "desert idyll" has refreshed my perception.
Who would have thought that in ancient times the land here was fertile, planted cantaloupe, jujube trees, etc., in front of the door of each house built a red willow fence, a good idyllic scene.

History, taste of folklore. The wooden walkway, which is a mixture of the past and the modern, is a great way to get a feel for the past.
Following the wooden trestle, we walked to the Turco tribe, the Qing Dynasty period is one of the four major tribes of Mongolia in the west of China, which is a hard-working, brave, with a glorious history of the tribe, the Qing Kangxi 37 years (1698 AD, the Turco tribe could not stand the oppression of the Tsarist-Russian empire, began a long and difficult road back to the east, the achievement of the Turco tribe back to the east of the legend of the history of the Chinese nation's valuable spiritual wealth, this is the Valuable spiritual wealth of the Chinese nation, is a model of national unity and peace, let us not only nostalgic about the hardships and obstacles of the Turks eastward, touched by the Turks for the development of the motherland's national defense cause of the three Yiqifu righteousness of the move.
Sheep circle in the courtyard, the backyard camel enclosure, pastoral flavor. Yard a tall family "peace tree", peace tree, also known as the "Baomu music", hung with their prayers for wind and rain, six animals flourish, family peace.
Mongolians can sing and dance, good hu mai, good long tone. In the Turks and Caicos family station, every day there are five wonderful Mongolian performances, in the melodious horse-head fiddle accompanied by Mongolian artists singing moving Mongolian songs, the song is pale and vast, as if this far away desert, as if this colorful poplar, sang people intoxicated, let a person obsessed. The blue sky, white clouds, yurts in twos and threes, and standing poplars as the background, mesmerized the crowd, and also mesmerized the years.
Whether it was the dancing or the instruments, or their heavenly music, it was unforgettable, and my ears got pregnant.
The singer in the national costume had the air of a queen.

That night we chose to stay in the self-driving campsite shell room, did not expect to choose this place is full of surprises. Hut appearance like colorful shells, red, blue, green, pink more than 30 shell room is like a most shining pearl scattered in the self-driving camp.
The colorful shell hut is very warm, the room is pure white, open the curtains sunshine can be sprinkled in. Facilities are also available, a large bed, a window, air conditioning, and a separate bathroom.
Outside the house, sunflowers are in full bloom, and there is a piece of water next to it, which is very peaceful to look at when you get up in the morning.
