Complete guide to visiting the Ejina Poplar Forest Tourist Area

The bicycle wants to ask the border, the country passes Juyan. The journey is out of the Han Dynasty, and the return is into the Hu sky. The desert is lonely and straight, and the long river sets the sun round. Xiao Guan meets the riding, Du Hu is in Yan Ran. This is the 'Mission to the Frontier' written by Wang Wei, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. The third line of the poem is well-known to every household. Where is the beautiful and magnificent border described in the poem? It is the 'Juyan' mentioned in the first line of the poem. Its current name is 'Ejina', also known as 'Ejina Banner', which belongs to the Alxa League of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. It is a small border town with a current population of only over 30,000. It is the largest and least populous banner in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. 🌞Scenic Area Introduction: The core scenic area of Ejina Poplar Forest is located in Dalaihubu Town, where the Ejina Banner government is located. From Bridge One to Bridge Eight, each place has charming scenery. The entrance of the scenic area is Bridge One, also known as Taolai Forest. Walking from Bridge One to Bridge Two, the view of the poplar forest along the way is beautiful. Bridge Two has a river and is also called Reflection Forest, which is very suitable for shooting the reflection of the poplar forest. Bridge Three is also called Red Willow Sea, dominated by red willow trees, which is also a plant that grows in the desert. The red is like a flame, and the forest is dyed. Bridge Four is the filming location of the movie 'Hero' directed by Zhang Yimou, also known as Hero Forest. The poplar forest here is the most dense and distinctive, and it is well-known. Bridge Seven is Dream Forest, where the poplars are relatively young. Bridge Eight is the Desert Kingdom, the end of the golden poplar forest is the northern edge of the Badain Jaran Desert, where you can sand slide, ride camels, and beach off-road. 🌞Tour Route: The bus stops are at Bridge Two, Bridge Four, Bridge Seven, and Bridge Eight. Enter from Bridge One and walk to Bridge Two. When I visited here on October 2, only part of the poplar had changed color, so I didn't spend too much time. There are two route options at the bus stop at Bridge Two: one is to visit in order and take the bus to Bridge Four, Bridge Seven, Bridge Eight; the other is to take the bus directly to Bridge Seven, then visit Bridge Eight, and then visit Bridge Four. On October 2, the color of the poplar at Bridge Seven was in full bloom. I chose route two and went to Bridge Seven first. As soon as I arrived at Bridge Seven, I felt a different atmosphere. The golden and romantic poplar forest was a big scene when I took a casual shot. Especially, I ran into a group of aunts wearing red skirts dancing under the poplar forest, which was quite appropriate. Bridge Seven is called Dream Forest, and it really feels dreamy. After visiting Bridge Seven, I went to Bridge Eight, the Desert Kingdom. The place is not big, but all the projects are there. Desert off-road is to send you to a lake 8 kilometers away, not big but very quiet. Bridge Four is Hero Forest, which is well-known because of the filming of the movie 'Hero'. The poplars here should have grown longer, the trees are larger, and it is another kind of beauty. 🌞Tips: 1. The visiting time of the entire scenic area varies from person to person. I entered the park at 8 o'clock in the morning and ended the visit at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. 2. Everyone can choose where to stay longer based on the changes in the climate and the degree of color change of the poplar forest. 3. The temperature in Ejina Banner is a bit lower in the morning and evening, and it is hotter at noon. Be sure to pay attention to sun protection. 4. White and red clothes are very photogenic, and colorful scarves can also be used.
