Who can resist the golden Poplar Island in Xinjiang during the autumn days

Who can resist the golden Poplar Island in Xinjiang during the autumn days. When I shared it on social media, friends asked if it was generated by AI, but of course, it was a real scene I captured, it's just so beautiful that it seems unreal. Now is the prime time for the Poplar forests in southern Xinjiang, a vast expanse of gold, this is the autumn of dreams. In the morning, shepherds herd the sheep that are bleating and foraging everywhere, the sunlight sprinkles on the Poplar forest, making the autumn colors even richer. If I say it's an oil painting, you would believe it without hesitation. Don't miss the golden Poplar forest in Bachu when you come to Kashgar in autumn. I was torn between the Jinhu Yang in Zepu County and the Red Sea golden Poplar Island in Bachu County, but since I didn't rent a car this time and relied on trains, I chose Bachu. It's a two-hour train ride from Kashgar to Bachu, and the golden Poplar Island is just over 20km from the county town. You can take a taxi back and forth, with a one-way fare of 40-50 yuan. On the way there, you can hail a car at random, but on the way back, you have to wait for a taxi to come with other passengers. Location of the scenic area: Red Sea Scenic Area Golden Poplar Island (Weitouzhou), the Red Sea Scenic Area is large, and the Poplar Island is just a part of it. The Red Sea Scenic Area on the map is still 10km away from the Poplar forest. Shooting time: Ten in the morning, when the sunlight is soft, the water of the Kashgar Geer River is calm, perfect for capturing the reflection of the Poplar forest. At this time, the tour buses from the Kashgar urban area have not yet arrived, and you have the whole scenic area to yourself. Scenic area ticket price: The regular ticket is 40 yuan, online booking on OTA platforms is 30 yuan, the scenic area shuttle bus is 10 yuan, and the horse carriage is 20 yuan. The shuttle bus goes directly to the final stop, where the beautiful Poplar forests are located, as well as the homes of the bleating sheep. However, the shepherds will keep driving the sheep to walk and forage, waiting for a chance encounter.
