Lop Nur, Xinjiang | A mirrored world of water poplars.

1. Travel Time • Best time to visit: November 1–25, the best time to see the golden poplar trees in full bloom. 2. Tickets and Transportation • Tickets: CNY 200 per car. If a car carries 4–5 people, the average cost per person is only CNY 40–50, making it a cost-effective option. • Transportation: The scenic area starts with a section of bumpy road, so a four-wheel drive vehicle is recommended to navigate the sandy paths. 3. Scenic Area Features • Natural beauty: Lop Nur is known for its wild natural beauty, with no artificial construction marks, preserving its original natural scenery. • Poplar forest: The golden poplar forest and its reflection in the water create a paradise for photography enthusiasts. 4. Equipment and Protection • Clothing: Due to the abundance of mosquitoes, it is recommended to wear long sleeves and pants and cover your face, especially for visitors wearing skirts. • Four-wheel drive: Some sections of the road require a four-wheel drive vehicle to handle the complex road conditions. 5. Dining and Facilities • Dining services: There are no artificial facilities or dining services in the scenic area, so it is recommended to bring your own food and water. 6. Photography and Experience • Photography: Capture the stunning scenery of the poplar forest and its reflection in the water. • Experience activities: Participate in local folk activities, such as the Lop wedding, and experience the traditional life of the Lop people. 7. Other Considerations • Time difference: Xinjiang is two hours behind inland cities, but uses Beijing time. Tourist activities are usually scheduled between 9:00 and 20:00. • Units of measurement: In daily life in Xinjiang, units of measurement are calculated in kilograms, equivalent to 2 jin in inland China. • Respect customs: Southern Xinjiang is mostly inhabited by ethnic minorities, so please respect their customs and habits. 8. Recommended Itinerary • Lop Nur Museum: An important window to showcase Yuli culture and learn about local history and culture. • Lop Village Scenic Area: Experience the folk customs of the Lop people and visit the original poplar forest reserve. • Lop Nur National Wetland Park: A national wetland park integrating wetland ecological protection and restoration, wetland eco-tourism, wetland scientific research, and popular science education.
