You can take the sightseeing train to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the southern part of the desert by leaping over the green grassland, two red willows, three reed marshes, four qiayang River and five lakes in the forest. From winter to spring, wild camels, wild boars, red deer and other rare animals flashed in the forest. Swans, ducks, geese, gulls and other waterbirds flocked to fly and sang on the lake. In late autumn, golden Populus euphratica decorates both sides of the Tarim River with picturesque splendor.

Walking in the Populus euphratica Forest Park in Tarim, you will find that there are about 220 bends, which can be called the most scenic road in the world. Both sides of the road are full of vicissitudes. The tall and strong bodies of Populus euphratica either bend and fall, or roar up to the sky, or are silent, or heroic. Visitors here, in addition to praise, singing, or silence, there is infinite respect for life.

If you choose four seasons to visit here, I wonder how you will feel. In spring, Populus euphratica sprouts a little green, and there is a thriving scene; in summer, Populus euphratica is covered with green shade, and the fallen flowers are colorful; in autumn, Populus euphratica's beautiful demeanor or reflection in the water, or standing in the desert, shows the brilliance of life; in winter, the unyielding figure of Populus euphratica is covered with silver, which makes people sigh about the desert hero in the vast sand sea This situation can not help but make people feel: less than Luntai, I do not know the magnificence of Populus euphratica, do not see Populus euphratica, I do not know the glory of life.
