As autumn paints the landscape with vibrant hues, the Euphrates poplar forests in Ejina Banner, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, become a beacon for nature enthusiasts and travelers alike. These resilient trees have thrived in the harsh desert climate, showcasing their remarkable ability to withstand prolonged droughts.
The Euphrates poplar has a storied history in the region, contributing to the vast and breathtaking forests that stretch across the landscape. Each autumn, the leaves transform into a stunning golden palette, creating a picturesque setting that attracts visitors from around the globe.
Situated just south of these serene forests lies the Badain Jaran Desert, the third largest desert in China. This impressive natural wonder was recently honored with a place on the UNESCO World Heritage List during the 46th session of the World Heritage Committee in New Delhi, India, on July 26 this year. The juxtaposition of lush forests and expansive deserts makes this region a unique destination for those seeking both tranquility and adventure.
