Habahe Birch Forest

The Habahe birch forest is located 4 kilometers west of Habahe County, near the Kanas Attraction. This birch forest is about 28 kilometers long and 1.5 kilometers wide. It is the largest naturally grown birch forest in Northwest China and is known as the "No. 1 birch forest in Northwest China". The birch tree, scientifically known as Betula sibiricum, is 20-40 meters tall in the Habahe birch forest and is of great ornamental value. The birch trees grow in patches around the Habahe River. The graceful white trunks look noble and refined from a distance, and simple and noble from a close distance. In spring, the grass is green and the flowers are blooming; in summer, the forest is lush and the bees and butterflies are flying; the beauty is in autumn, when the birch trees turn yellow and red, and the forest is covered with reddish-yellow fallen leaves, which complement the silver-white trunks and the blue sky, just like a European-style oil painting; in winter, it is covered in silver, forming a white magical world, which has become a good place for people to explore the snow.
