Mid-Autumn Ejina Banner Raiders

The eleventh holiday is coming, and this bright orange and fruitful autumn is the most exciting. During the rare seven-day holiday, I have many travel destinations, but the most suitable golden destination for this season. Populus euphratica forest in Ejina has always been a dream, and the eleventh day is an excellent opportunity to witness their sturdy bones! However, Ejina is located in the northwest border, and the surrounding area is desert except Gobi, so the traffic is very inconvenient. According to my many years of experience in e-flag, I summed up practical strategies, hoping to help bees who want to see Populus euphratica in Ejina ~

1. Why did you go to Ejina to see Populus euphratica?

Photography: fast shutter.

At present, there are four main ornamental areas of Populus euphratica forest in China, namely: Xinjiang Ruim Populus euphratica forest, Tarim Luntai Populus euphratica forest, Qinghai Golmud Populus euphratica forest and Inner Mongolia Ejina Banner Populus euphratica forest. Four kinds of Populus euphratica forests have their own advantages and disadvantages.

The oldest Populus euphratica forest in the world has a history of 65 million years. Round Populus euphratica forest-the smallest and freshest Populus euphratica forest, 17 km sightseeing train, characteristic literature and art; Golmud Populus euphratica forest-the highest Populus euphratica forest in the world, with an altitude of 2770 meters, has the opportunity to see Populus euphratica under the snow-capped mountains; Populus euphratica forest in Jina is the most beautiful, spectacular and popular. There are four reasons for this:

1. Large area and high coverage. There is a large area of Hu Yangshu in the 380,000 mu protected area; 2. High density. There is a large area of Populus euphratica forest between the first bridge and the eighth bridge, which has a great influence on vision. This tree is long and beautiful. At present, most photos of Populus euphratica on the Internet are mainly Ejina; 4. The landscape is rich and diverse. From Guangqiao to Baqiao, there are many unique scenic spots, such as the reflection forest (Populus euphratica and water), Hongliuhai, Hero Forest (the most beautiful tree), Dream Forest (the young trees are early yellow) and Shahai Kingdom (on the edge of Badain Jaran desert, you can take a photo of a camel in the desert in the morning).

The Populus euphratica forest in Jina basically represents the peak of Populus euphratica landscape, so when Huangshan comes back, it doesn't look at Yue, but when Erqi comes back, it looks at Populus euphratica!

2. When is the best viewing time (peak season) of Ejina Populus euphratica forest?

The yellowing of Populus euphratica leaves is related to temperature, humidity and tree age. Generally speaking, when the lowest temperature drops to about 5 degrees, yellow leaves begin to appear. Where there is little water, it turns yellow first, and young trees turn yellow first.

According to experience, yellow leaves begin to appear around September 10 every year, and nearly one third of the forests turn yellow around September 20. The best viewing time every year is from September 25th to June 65438+1October 65438+May, and most of the forests are yellow. If the weather is stable, the yellow leaves can last until 65438+1October 20th. If the cold current is frequent, most leaves will fall after 10 and 15. Only God knows the exact time. Haha ~

If time permits, we can consider staggering the Eleventh Golden Week. After all, peak-shifting tourism is also one of the important factors to enhance the experience. When there are few people and beautiful scenery, the price is cheap. Why not?

3. What is the accommodation situation in Ejina during the peak season? Can you reserve a room?

Accommodation in Ejina Banner is the main problem that puzzles free travellers. Why? Because the demand exceeds the supply, the house price soars, and it is hard to find a room. However, in the past two years, the facilities have improved a lot, the situation has eased, and the accommodation conditions have been guaranteed in all aspects, but the house price is still high. The best hotel in Ejina is Ejina Taihao International Hotel (four-star), which varies from 1500-2200 per night during Populus euphratica Festival. Holiday Inn Taolai currently under construction (five-star standard) may be completed during the 11th Five-Year Plan period. It is at the gate of a bridge, surrounded by Hu Yangshu, and its price is unknown.

The following is the peak season valuation table of Ejina regular hotel (note: the above is estimated by me according to the market of Ejina hotel in recent three years, and does not represent the actual market. Simple beds refer to beds in homestays and youth hostels. )

It is suggested that you try to stay in a big hotel when the economic conditions permit, because this kind of hotel operates all the year round and has reg.

You need to know more about the accommodation in Ejina during the peak season: 1. The house price in Ejina is determined by the relationship between supply and demand, so the price changes greatly. However, it is also possible to stay in a cost-effective room after arrival, which requires more inquiries. 2. It is not recommended to set up a tent in Ejina. At night, the wind and sand are heavy, the temperature is low, and there are many bad weather, which is unsafe. There are many three-star hotels in Ejina, but there are basically no stars. For example: Liya Business Hotel, Youpin Business Hotel, Jinfengyuan Business Hotel, etc. During the Populus euphratica Festival, the number of tourists exceeded the load of the town, so it is common to cut off water and electricity. In addition, the best accommodation I have ever stayed in is some farmhouses in Huyang Scenic Area, with single-family houses and gardens. Hu Yangshu can be seen everywhere in the village, especially suitable for one or two families to travel on the road.

4. How does Ejina eat?

Photo: From head to toe by Rebecca Sunshine Doll.

Ejina Banner is usually crowded with people, but during the National Day, there are still many things to eat in the town: roast whole sheep, sheep back, hand-grabbed meat, braised mutton, camel's paw, camel meat, air-dried mutton, especially Ejina honeydew melon, which is very popular with tourists. There are many snacks in Fuji Commercial Street and Shudu Commercial Street.

Price: Ejina price is divided into three grades, one grade at ordinary times, one grade one month before Populus euphratica Festival and one grade during Populus euphratica Festival. Therefore, restaurants usually have three menus, so be sure to see the price of vegetables when ordering. In peak season, the average consumption of bibimbap and noodles in 25 yuan ranges from 50 to 100.

Restaurants: The most embarrassing thing is not the high price, but that many restaurants are newly opened temporary restaurants, and the taste and hygiene are simply unbearable. Here are some restaurants (all of which can be searched directly on the map). 1. Dicos: The price of a fast food chain in the town is still rising during the Populus euphratica Festival, but overall the taste and price are ok; 2. From head to toe: It's famous on the Internet. Everyone thinks it's average and expensive. Features: mutton hoof, mutton, hand-grabbed meat, mutton soup; 3. Populus euphratica Town Restaurant: A combination of Chinese and Western food, both western and Chinese food can be eaten. The price is reasonable and the taste is good. 4. Sichuan-Chongqing Hotel: one of the larger hotels in the local area, with reasonable price and more teams; 5. Luwei: It tastes good and more expensive.

Tip: Ejina's fruit is particularly cheap, and cantaloupe, watermelon, jujube and peach are particularly delicious. You can buy more water and vitamins.

5. What does Ejina play? What are the scenic spots?

Ejina Banner currently has three scenic spots: Populus euphratica forest (from Bridge 1 to Bridge 8), Black City Strange Forest Scenic Area and Juyanhai Scenic Area. These three scenic spots are basically the must-see spots when you come to Ejina Banner. There are other scenic spots, such as Shenshu and Zeke Port. There are also scenic spots newly built in the past two years, such as Populus euphratica scenic spot in Laoren Lake, Jinshawan scenic spot in weak water, Populus euphratica scenic spot in desert, etc., with Populus euphratica, desert and water as the main body, creating different styles.

(Note: Every year, the scenic spot will find a ticketing agent, and you can buy some discount tickets that are cheaper than the listing price. )

I suggest that if time is limited, friends can only spend one day in the scenic spot from Huyang No.1 Bridge to No.8 Bridge, and watch the sunrise in Juyanhai and the sunset in the strange forest of Black City on the other day. This is a classic trip, without mistakes and repetitions.

Black city and strange forest (3A scenic spot)

Address: about 28km southwest of Dalaihubu town. Ticket price: 150 yuan/person (including ferry fare) How to play: A hundred years ago, it was still a virgin forest. Due to natural factors, a large piece of lifeless Populus euphratica is uneven and strangely shaped, giving people a dead silence. Populus euphratica in the strange forest is the most desolate and gorgeous, and it is a good place to shoot the sunset silhouette. The site of Heishuicheng, located in the desert on the east bank of Nalin River, is the only known city named after Xixia language. There used to be quite a large water area here in the past, and Heishui City is one of the three waterside oases. Due to serious desertification, half of the walls around Heishui City have been buried by quicksand. The Black City is a particularly mysterious place. There are many versions of stories and legends in history, which are particularly attractive.

Within 30 meters around this Millennium "holy tree", five stout Hu Yangshu trees have grown. Herdsmen call it "Mother and Son Tree", which is quite spectacular from a distance.

Recommended attractions along the way: Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center; Jinhuyang Forest Scenic Area; Strange stone forest haichu road.

What are the modes of transportation to Ejina Banner?

Ejina is in the northwest border of China, so it is not convenient to come here. Moreover, there are few air and train routes for reference only. The main mode of transportation is long-distance bus. Let me say it alone:

[airplane]

At present, Taolai Airport in Ejina Banner has opened a flight from Ejina Banner to Xi 'an via Alashan Zuo Qi, with one flight every day. Happiness airlines Jr1513 (departing from Xi' an at 7: 20) and Jr1514 (departing from Ejina at1:55). Tips: The plane used by Happiness Airlines on this flight is a small domestic plane, xinzhou 60. The carriage is similar to a bus, with more than 50 seats. I sat once, and I was scared. The nearest large-scale civil aviation airport is in Jiayuguan, which is about 400 kilometers away from Ejina Banner and takes 5 hours by car. Next is Yinchuan Airport, which is about 900 kilometers away from Ejina Banner and takes 10 hour by car.

[train]

Ejina has opened passenger trains, but at present there is only one train from Hohhot, K79 1 1 (Hohhot 18:49, Baotou 20: 49 and Helin 23: 37); K79 12 (Ejina/kloc-0 leaves at 9: 00, arrives in Helin at 06: 05, arrives in Baotou at 08:55, and arrives in Hohhot at 0: 54 the next day). Tips: It is difficult to book train tickets during the Populus euphratica Festival, mainly because they are bought by ticket sellers or intercepted by tour groups, so friends who want to take the train from Hohhot to Ejina should try to buy tickets in advance.

[Coach]-The main way

Coach is the main way for tourists to reach Ejina Banner. They may come from Jiuquan (from Gansu) or Alashan Zuo Qi (from Yinchuan). The shortest drive is Jiuquan, about 5 hours.

Tip: 1. The frequency is for reference only. According to Populus euphratica Festival in previous years, there will be more tourist buses. 2. The Banner House of Ejina Banner is located in Dalai Hubu Town, referred to as Dalai Hubu Town for short. If you buy a ticket and ask for directions, you must know that the big town is Ejina Banner.

Tip: 1. It is best to go to Lanzhou first in all parts of the country. Lanzhou is a transportation hub in western China, with many flights and trains. 2. Lanzhou West-Jiuquan South (about 4 hours by train). It is suggested that the train arrive before 12:30, so that you can take a bus to Ejina in the afternoon and arrive in Ejina on the same day. Jiuquan South Station-Jiuquan Bus Station, 10 yuan/person, about 20 minutes. 3. After arriving in Ejina, many private cars pull business at the gate of the station, which is generally 100 yuan/person/day. Life offers 1 two-day tour, please choose carefully.

be self-drive

Today, go on road trip is the most popular way to travel. You can enjoy the scenery along the way. Please refer to car navigation for details.

Tip: 1. Self-driving in the northwest is mainly in the Gobi Desert, and there are few corners, so it is necessary to maintain a high degree of concentration. 2. There is basically no service area in Alashan League, and there are few and simple places to eat. Pay attention to the provision of dry food.

How do girls choose dress collocation in Ejina?

Photography: Bai Na

[blazing flame: red]

Regardless of men, women and children, red gives people a feeling of being young, enthusiastic and positive. Most importantly, red is the best color of Populus euphratica.

[White dress]

No matter how long it takes, you must wear a white skirt when traveling. White is the most versatile color. Whether it's a romantic town or a blue sea and blue sky, a white skirt can definitely hold! Don't pick the scene! Do not pick temperament! Don't pick the season! The most important thing is to bring your own reflector! The long skirt pulls up the waist in one second, and the legs below the chest are all wood!

National wind dark system

In the northwest desert, the national style is particularly suitable. The best match with the strange forest in the desert Gobi should be the mysterious black system.

Tip 1. The climate in the west is dry. In the desert, please keep a proper amount of water, eat more fruits, and prepare commonly used drugs, such as antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs, eye drops, carsickness drugs, and drugs for treating gastrointestinal discomfort. 2. The sun is burning. Please use sunscreen, sunglasses and sun hat to avoid sunburn. Lipstick and toilet water moisturize and prevent mosquitoes. There is a great temperature difference between day and night in the west of autumn. Please keep warm. 3. Pay attention to the sand prevention of precision facilities such as mobile phones, cameras and camcorders. Cover it with lenses when not in use, and carry it with you to prevent sand from entering and damaging the instrument. Ejina is a Mongolian inhabited area, please respect the local customs. 5. Ejina Banner is in the initial stage of development, and the local service is hardly satisfactory. Please keep a calm, peaceful and open-minded attitude.
