2025 Yuli Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

This is my second time to come to Xinjiang this year Just for this short but gorgeous autumn limited poplar forest🍁 Standing in the desert and looking down When the Taklimakan Desert🏜️, Tarim River, and poplars join into a picture I was amazed by the beauty of Xinjiang! I want to tell everyone that they must come and see Xinjiang’s Populus euphratica forest! 📍Location: Huludao Scenic Area in Southern Xinjiang 🗺️Address: Bayinguoleng Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture-33rd Regiment of Yuli County 🧭Navigation: Huludao, Yuli County-Wharf (a certain navigation) ⌚️Season: Mid-to-late October~Mid-November 🏨Accommodation: Yuli County 1.5h / Korla 2h 🎫Tickets: 80/person + 50/self-driving 🍂About Populus euphratica forest: I have been to three Populus euphratica forest scenic spots in Southern Xinjiang. The scenery of Huludao can be ranked first. The scenery of desert lake and Populus euphratica in the same frame is very shocking and worth going! But the disadvantage is that private contracting is not formal enough, and the scenic area management and equipment need to be improved and perfected~

📍Luobu Village There was a warning earlier that the Poplar forest might be gone So I feel lucky to encounter not just bare branches "Desert for thousands of years, Poplar for a thousand years, Luobu people for a hundred years" The early winter temperature starts to be unbearable, the scenic area Luobu people have retreated There are fewer tourists along the way The overall scene is more solemn and desolate in winter But The golden leaves on the ground of the Poplar forest form a carpet The little brother is still fishing on the shallow beach of the Tarim River The lake under the East Sand Mountain is still shining Black swans are playing in pairs, as beautiful as a painting Take the scenic spot sightseeing car from East Sand Mountain to Goddess Lake Pass through the Taklamakan Desert all the way🏜️ Riding a camel in the desert and looking at the Goddess Lake Still feel it's worth it 🎫: 50 (including sightseeing car) ⏱️: 10:00-18:30 🚗: It takes about 1.5h to drive from Kuerle city, there is a free parking lot at the entrance ❗️Notes 1⃣️It is recommended to take the scenic spot sightseeing car in two sections, the first section to Abudan Square. Most of the Poplar forest is on the way to East Sand Mountain, and then the second section belongs to East Sand Mountain-Goddess Lake-Abudan Square loop 2⃣️Most of the merchants have withdrawn this season, only a small amount of food is available at Abudan Square, but the commercialization mentioned by netizens is gone, and there are very few people, it's very comfortable to stroll around, and you can take pictures casually 3⃣️There are many projects in the scenic area, popular camel riding (80 yuan/person), glider, desert car, it was a bit cold and I just rode a camel and left, the scenery is really good

Friends going to Korla must go to 'Luobu Village', but I tell everyone with the experience of buying two tickets, don't rush into Luobu Village, it's more attractive to drive into 'Luobu Naor National Wetland Park' from the side!!! 'Luobu Village' and 'Luobu Naor National Wetland Park' are in the same location. The village takes a shuttle bus from the visitor center to visit, and the wetland park drives in from the side door to visit; the wetland park is larger and more primitive, I personally think it's okay to go directly to the wetland park! 🔸 Luobu Naor National Wetland Park 200r/car The newly opened scenery, the original ecology is to buy tickets in the temporary shed at the entrance of the Luobu Village Visitor Center. It is a 46km ring road for self-driving, including several Populus euphratica landscapes. It is quite primitive. You can play as you like. The pictures are basically taken here. I personally think the experience is far better than Luobu Village 🔸 Luobu Village 49/person The planned scenic area, there are many man-made scenes on the Populus euphratica forest, plus too many tour groups, the experience is not very good, the photos are not very good, the more highlights are the 'Goddess Lake' behind, which is more characteristic than the previous scenic spots~

In China, Populus euphratica is not unique to Ejina, and Inner Mongolia is not the region with the most Populus euphratica forests, but Xinjiang. The Populus euphratica season in Xinjiang is longer than that in Ejina, with most scenic areas lasting more than a month. The Populus euphratica forests in Xinjiang are widely distributed, from Hami in the east to Tacheng in the west, from the banks of the Tarim River in southern Xinjiang to the edge of the Taklamakan Desert. You can embark on a month-long journey to chase the Populus euphratica. Northern Xinjiang Populus Euphratica Forest Yiwu in Hami has the easternmost wild Populus euphratica forest in Xinjiang. The most convenient scenic area to visit is the Naomao Lake Populus euphratica Ecological Park. The best time to view the Populus euphratica here is from late September to mid-October each year. The twisted trunks of the Populus euphratica trees in the ecological park are unique, making it ideal for professional art photography. The Populus euphratica forest in Mulei County, Changji, is located in the Mingsha Mountain Populus euphratica National Park, which is home to the world's oldest primitive Populus euphratica forest, said to be 65 million years old. Entering from the north to Gurtu Town in Wusu City, Tacheng, you can see the Populus euphratica forest lined up on both sides of the road. Although the trees are not as old, the straight road stretching into the distance is a rare sight in many scenic areas. The Populus euphratica trees in the western Populus euphratica forest reserve are taller and thicker, with the two largest trees known as the King of Populus euphratica. The Populus euphratica season in Wusu is generally from late September to early October each year. Bayingolin Populus Euphratica Forest Luntai in Bayingolin is probably the most famous Populus euphratica viewing destination in Xinjiang. Every early October, the golden and orange colors spread across the sky over Taheqiao Town for a month. In Luntai Populus euphratica Park, you can not only walk around but also take a boat to enjoy the reflection of the Populus euphratica forest in the water from a unique angle. Take the small train in the scenic area, and the end of the line is Swan Lake. If you can find a way to get here, you will likely have a private Populus euphratica feast. Another Populus euphratica viewing spot in Bayingolin is near the Luobu Village Scenic Area in Yuli. Climb the Xisha Mountain surrounded by the Tarim River, and the golden Populus euphratica trees reflected in the water create a poetic scene. At sunset, the Populus euphratica landscape with the Tarim River and desert as the background is a must-see. If you are obsessed with sunsets, the best viewing platform is the Tarim Bridge south of Taheqiao Town in Luntai. Standing on the bridge, the banks of the Tarim River on both sides are full of Populus euphratica forests, creating a dreamy scene in the afterglow of the sunset.
