I am an instructor at the Tongwan City site, and the Shenshujian is less than 12 kilometers away from the Tongwan City site where I am. There are more than 300 hundred-year-old dry willows here, with a distribution area of more than 20 square kilometers. Now it is very convenient to visit. It is only one kilometer from the main road Zhangba Road (X222 County Road) to the place where you can see the century-old willow trees. The government has made plans and road signs. There are mainly 8 points. Point 1 has a cement-hardened parking lot and public toilets. The distance between points 1 and 2 is about one kilometer, and the points between points 2 and 8 are separated. Not far. From point 1 to point 8 is basically an asphalt road, the farthest from the highway is point 4, which is relatively remote. The round trip from No. 1 to No. 8 is about 7 kilometers. It is recommended that tourists who have time to visit here for two to three hours. I walked around on January 21 this year. The snow on the ground has not melted, and the dry willows in winter highlight the tension of life in the desolation. The scenery of Shenshujian is relatively more beautiful in autumn and winter.
Driving to the sacred tree stream not far from Tongwancheng, there is no special hint here. A rural road passes through a large area of farmland. The dry willows growing on both sides are not noticed because of the green leaves, but the trunk shows the age. , These willow trees are more than 200 years old, or several side by side, or scattered in the field, some like petals split from the center and branches out diagonally, and some have become dead trees and fall down on the roadside.
The Shenshujian rare and ancient dry willow group is located in Hongdunjie Town, Jingbian County. There are 139 ancient willow trees in the territory. The ancient willow tree is strange in shape and high in age, which is extremely rare in China. Although the ancient willow group has experienced thousands of years of wind and rain, it has grown vigorously and endlessly, its tenacious vitality has surprised the world. The local people regarded the ancient willow as a "sacred tree" and worshipped and prayed for protection.
Shenshujian refers to the ancient willow forest in the Shenshujian Desert, located in Jingbian County, Yulin City, Shaanxi Province. There are about 300 ancient willows. Most of them are unique. They are said to be Daliu, which has a history of 600 years and is also called a thousand years. Gu Liu.
