Go to Ejina and see a landscape where Populus euphratica stood out in 3000 years.
In the dream, this golden sea, they seem to have a voice, "Brush brush-",is it Jin Lang flapping the sky?
In the dream, the golden carpet at the foot is soft, and it is a crisp click when stepping on it.
In my dream, the wind blows through this golden land, blowing my golden dream far away, blowing it into the same golden tree and blowing it into the blue sky further away.
In my dream, I stood under the Populus euphratica tree, and there was no car bell in my ear. The world suddenly became silent.
I was in a trance for a while. The sky began to get dark, and the golden yellow slowly climbed into the sky until the sky was also integrated with the leaves.
In the dream, there are two bright reds in the dazzling golden yellow. The hurried drums sounded, the sword was drawn, and the leaves of Populus euphratica shuttled through the Woods, entwined with two figures.
In the movie Hero directed by Zhang Yimou, the fighting scene between Maggie Cheung and Zhang Ziyi in Populus euphratica forest made people pay attention to this dreamlike place.
This is Ejina, which is located in the north of China and the westernmost part of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
Ejina Banner is sparsely populated, and almost all of it is covered by desert and Gobi.
It is like a mysterious exotic woman, covered with a thin veil, hiding a deep story to attract people, emitting an atmosphere that keeps strangers at a distance.
Gobi oasis, the vast desert, here is sometimes a paradise, sometimes a hell.
Enjoy the sunshine hitting your face through the cracks in the leaves of Populus euphratica. Everything you can see is golden.
The sound of the wind blowing through the rustling is that Populus euphratica is whispering to people.
The secrets hidden in the long river of history are blown away by the wind and sand, and the starlight falls carefully at night.
Drinking a pot of wine and singing a song, far away and desolate, this land seems to be asleep again.
Perhaps where you live, autumn is only a subtle passing by, so you must feel the autumn in Ejina in September and October.
Feel the vitality of nature and explore the secrets buried under the yellow sand.

vitality
"Life is immortal for a thousand years, and death is immortal for a thousand years."
Populus euphratica stands for three thousand years.
Hu Yangshu is a magical plant, which is cold-resistant, drought-resistant and sandstorm-resistant. It often guards the border desert and holds its ground. Bloom the most beautiful posture with tenacious life.
Every year in late autumn, they will spurt out the accumulated strength for a year and give the Gobi Desert vitality.
Don't forget that Populus euphratica in Ejina has three postures.
Feel the magnificence of Populus euphratica here.
Populus euphratica scenic spot is located on the Ejina River. In midsummer, it is still full of green and vitality.
It is no exaggeration to call it a "paradise" in the desert.
The arrival of late autumn dyed Populus euphratica forest golden.
Looking along Lake Ejina, the fallen leaves blown by the wind are overwhelming. Looking up, Populus euphratica in yellow robe stretched out into the blue sky.
You will never feel the bleak autumn, only sigh that they have brought the soul of life to the desert.
Feel the tragic of Populus euphratica here.
In the desert southeast of Dalaihubu town, there is a magical scene, which at first glance has a sense of desolation. This is a dead Populus euphratica forest
Their withered branches spread out in various strange postures, and some lay in the desert like dying people; Some go straight into the sky, as if shouting injustice in the sky; Some people hold their necks, others seem to die unsatisfied. ......
The sky is getting dark, and the withered Populus euphratica's body becomes a black silhouette in the sunset, which is even more desolate and strange. This is a strange forest.
Strange forest has a tragic legend:
There used to be a black general in Black Water City. The enemy attacked the city and the army led by General Black was trapped. After breaking through when the river was cut off, he led the army out of the city and died in this strange forest.
So some people say that this strange forest is the place where the immortal souls of General Black and his men are stored.
"Lonely night in the vast desert, Populus euphratica whispering in ten thousand. Decisive battle, crazy sand, drunk as flowers and autumn leaves in the same month. "
In fact, the strange forest died of drought because of unreasonable human development. With its own anti-corruption characteristics, it finally stood out in various weird and terrible postures.
Feel the mystery of Populus euphratica here
There is a special kind of tree in Hu Yangshu, Ejina, with more than 5 million mu.
He is over 800 years old, and time has left many marks on it. It is 23 meters high and more than 2 meters in diameter. It takes six people to surround it.
You don't know how many world changes it has witnessed in the past 800 years. It is not afraid of cold and frost. You don't know, it is still standing in the desert, smiling at the vicissitudes of life. ......
Legend has given it a layer of mystery.
When the adobe house first arrived in the oasis, the camels and horses of Populus euphratica here couldn't eat, so they burned the forest. All Populus euphratica disappeared in the fire, only one tree still stands, so it is called "holy tree".
The sacred tree is regarded as a belief by Ejina people. Every late winter and early spring, people will come to this tree to chant Buddhist scriptures and pray for good weather and good health in the new year.
In this way, Populus euphratica stands in the desert of Ejina with different postures, listening to the whistling wind alone with this land and watching the sunset, nourishing generation after generation.

seek
There are magical lakes here, and a little vitality sprouts in barren places;
There are traces of the ancient city here, leaving only traces in the rolling wheel of history;
Here is an endless desert, and the wind draws a serpentine sand line;
There are also achievements in national construction here. ......
Juyanhai
This is the place where "riding wants to ask the side, Shu has passed the residence".
Juyanhai, once the largest lake in ancient northwest China, is actually not a sea, but a lake, as long as a crescent moon.
The water is dotted with reeds, and flocks of seagulls often pass by. In the dead desert, this sudden life is especially rare.
"Outside Juyan City, Tianjiao was hunted and white grass was burned in the wild." Be sure to see the Juyan Sea at sunset. The whole lake is rippling with red and orange water waves, which are extremely shining.
Juyanhai is a magical "Youzi Lake", which is large and small, with south and north.
The flowing water in the long yellow sand is a treasure given by nature to Ejina.
Badaoqiao desert
If you have seen Sha Hai, you must know that all the stories in it revolve around Gu Tongjing.
We don't know whether the ancient Tongjing really exists, but the location of the ancient Tongjing is "the fourth largest desert in the world"-Badain Jaran Desert.
Perhaps everyone has a primitive desire to explore the unknown. The imagination of Badain Jaran Desert in the novel casts an impenetrable veil on it.
This Badaoqiao Desert in Ejina is located on the edge of Badain Jaran Desert and connected with Populus euphratica forest.
Be sure to feel the burning sand at sunrise and sunset, and step across the vast expanse at the foot of Populus euphratica and camel team.
Heishuicheng site
Deserted sand dunes, pagodas, mosques and dry rivers seem to smell the people here.
1038, Xixia established political power and established "Fuweijun Subdivision of Montenegro", which was subordinate to Ejina Banner and stationed in Heishui City. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Black Water City was breached, and the court had no time to take care of it, so it was abandoned.
After that, the people moved, the river dried up and gradually became an empty city.
Through the remaining ancient church, we can still see the magnificent scenery at that time.
Unfortunately, at the beginning of the 20th century, a large number of precious cultural relics in Black Water City were transported away by foreign expeditions with camel teams. Without these robbers, it would probably become the "Black Water City Museum".
Go to Ejina
Look at the variety of Populus euphratica
Sigh the tenacity of life
Go to Ejina
Feel the vastness of the desert
The scenery is infinite, sighing the historical changes.
